Bards can AOE kite large amounts of mobs on this server (it's just a little harder because of mob hitboxes being larger - not sure why this hasn't been fixed but if you want to discuss it you can go to the Bugs forum), but they can't swarm kite with charm at all, though this is being discussed and might be fixed in the future if the devs are willing/able.

When I first started, there were lots of little annoying issues with Bards (casting bars disappearing, not being able to interrupt your own songs, songs immediately ending if you sit down, etc.) which they've largely fixed. Depending on how you played a Bard on live and what you found fun about it, you're very likely to still enjoy it/do well with it on p99.
