Bards in a group?
After level 45 it’s really simple. Know your song book. Understand your group. Balance the songs you sing to match the needs of your group. You can tank, pull, heal, cc and support very well if needed. You can often do more than one of these jobs effectively at the same time.
Most importantly? Put your fucking weapons away. Unless you have epic, having weapons equipped is pointless 99% of the time. You add exponentially more umph to your group with instruments. I’ve got a 60 bard. Melee dps even with goodnworn haste is garbage unless you have epic + high end raid gear. Even with epic + raid weapon your personal dps is bad, but at least with epic you have a killer proc and 1.8 mod to singing and all other instruments rolled into one.
Time spent pretending you can melee dps is better spent on situational awareness ... or literally anything else.
