I disagree with this 100%. Have you played a bard? Mad respect for your enchanter skills but I’ve seen you bash bards in threads before. There is no better dungeon soloer than a bard up until level 50. They can still do it 50+, just have to med after running out of mana. I’m not saying they are as good as an enchanter 50+. However they should be considered solo dungeon crawlers. And IMO they are much better than shamans in that sense until a shaman has gear and torpor. Even then, shamans can’t dps that well and that’s a longgggg way to get to that point when being 60 generally gets boring after awhil if not raising. .
Much better than given credit for, and playing a plate class that can Regen and charm in dungeons has been one of my most enjoyable experiences on p99.

I'm not bashing bards. I love bards. They're amazing. I had one at 59 (my first character that high on p99), 3rd epic bard on the server, VP weapons, etc. I'm somewhat familiar with them. Please quote me bashing bards, because I don't recall it.
All that aside, I've literally never seen nor heard of a bard solo dungeon crawling basically anywhere, ever. I'd enjoy seeing it, but if this were really a thing, I think I would have at least heard of it at some point in the last several years of hanging around p99. I'm happy to be proven incorrect.
Edit - screw you though, because now I want to try to play a bard from 1-60 soloing in dungeons like I did with Noman, and I already don't have enough time in the day! But really I doubt it's possible in a real way. Being able to kill stuff in a dungeon with charm isn't quite the same thing as "solo dungeon crawl" imo. A bard seems like it'd be too reliant on a semblance of open space to make it work, something that is lacking in a lot of dungeons, and doesn't seem to have the tools you'd need to turn a sour situation back to good when things inevitably go bad. If people think enchanters live on a razor's edge, I can only imagine trying to crawl through any dungeon that's not blackburrow, crushbone, city of mist, karnors-type dungeons. I may be overstating a shaman's solo dungeon crawl ability pre-50, but I don't think I understated a bard's by saying they're not really a solo dungeon crawl class.
