I figure you already know this...but just a reminder that Monks have to be lawful...and bards have to be non-lawful.
And as a person who has 4 bards that she plays (I have a lvl 16 spellsinger, a 12/1 (barb) warchanter, a 12 virtuoso, and a 9/2 bard/rogue), I have been increasingly disillusioned about the effectiveness of bard CC in the current end game.
I, also, am not a fan of the blanket immunities. I don't mind the mobs having spells that they cast that make them immune to stuff. I keep Greater Dispell just for that purpose. My husband's wizard and I work well together in Enter the Kobold...we see the shamans cast death ward on themselves, and I spend a few spells trying to get rid of it.
Sometimes, the fighters can beat the guy down before our combo of Dispell/FoD. Sometimes we can get the shaman first. But it's an enjoyable mechanic...and it's something that my CC bard can do.
But I can't do anything about blanket immunities. And that becomes frustrating to me.
I'm not worried about my warchanter...there will always be something that she can swing her Greatswords at. But my spellsinger and virtuoso are quickly becoming obsolete in the newest quests.
This makes me very sad about the direction of the game.
