Having a bard is like adding tape to something not entirely finished, they are fillers for a slot when nothing else is available. Again I have nothing against them, if I'm missing something, and a bard is available, I'd take him over nothing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Now as for a ranger.......
Two things that no class can surpass bard on. One, bards are 100% necessary on raids for resists because their resist buffs are off the charts high. Two, they are also the fastest class to travel across zones in the game; therefore, they are needed to pull outdoor raid targets (dragons).

I would argue that bards in an exp group can actually pull better than monks in some dungeons, assuming that the bard is skilled.
