Jete, bards aren't the only ones. Correct me if I'm wrong, but currently monks in P99 are subject to the Luclin era mitigation and avoidance nerfs. Everyone knows that monks have a weight limit that we must maintain to avoid suffering an AC penalty. What most people don't know is the reasoning behind that weight limit was because monks were given a higher avoidance and mitigation that was on par with chain or plate (I can't remember) classes. In Luclin, a number of notable players started to complain about monks being over-powered (In all honesty, we were), a thus our mitigation was nerfed (yet our weight restrictions remained /boggle).
Personally, I don't think monks are all that bad on this server, and I feel I compliment any group I join fairly well. I'm not complaining. I'm just providing an example of how bards are not the only class that is weaker or more restricted than it was in classic.
Honestly, I'd take the way aggro works on this server over increased avoidance / mitigation any day. It's definitely not classic, but you won't hear any complaints out of me. :)
Edit : Also, Snifs post was the best post in this thread.
