Can you elaborate on what a bard does that is so great? Still learning this game, but never played a bard, and not many join groups. You know why... lol
Bard can fill in every single slot in a group that is missing, to some degree. You get some pretty nice temporal buffs, the heal song, while not being able to heal fast adds up pretty good. Then there is CC (snare, fear, mez, charm). Up to some level a bard, being a plate wearer that can also slow mobs, can tank. If DPS is needed the bard will speed up all other melees while doing mediochre melee damage himself, and added on top do some dot damage or add a charmed pet to the fight. If mana is the problem the bard will play mana song.

Nice thing about bard is, you can duo with any class at all and make it work good. A lot of the bards power comes in the 20ties levels, so there maybe some frustration earlier.
