You can continue to think this, but I do have and use a capped spellsinger bard to compliment characters on my main account. Bards are excellent 2nd account characters, specifically due to their adaptability and their enhanced ability to improve the abilities of others. Contrary to what you say, I'm acutely aware of exactly what a bard can do, and I find it nifty... but not the be-all-end-all to uberness like most people in the bard forums appear to think.
The way some here are talking, no party has ever been successful without a bard
