Sorry to hear you lost your robe OP. Not sure what can be done about it, but I wish you good luck. And I know the "wall of doom" as I like to call it - when a bard dies and every drovlarg comes strolling back. The chaos that ensues is not fun, I've found myself in the middle of that multiple times.
I'd say in two years playing here I've had one maybe two good experiences with a bard.
One was a bard named Ludvig or something like that. Grouped with him once in my youth, never saw him again. The other one was a level 40ish bard grouping for the first time. He snared the mob (not sure why as the necro was before) and played an aoe song. That's it. Wasn't the greatest but he warned us he never grouped before, so whatever.
The others have been negative. Zone disruptions from no mobs to kill, dying and having people caught up in a million mobs pacing back, running swarms over your head, etc. If you complain or ask them to stop you get attitude or they drop mobs onto you. Nothing much you can do except go elsewhere. I can't recall any bards that I have ported in the past (when I was young and ported for cash) that didn't immediately selos off into the sunset upon landing or tip me 1-5pp (these being high levels). Hard to avoid porting them as they are always anon!
