I played a bard on the live servers they are probobly the most hardest class to play to there full cabability... in the long run any asshole can sit there and twist 3 songs but it takes a good player to do everything a bard can do...

by the time i was 65 i was:
-Pulling like a pro, bards are amazing pullers with lull. I would pull hit the mob a few times throw some buffs up and then run and grab the next mob if i was early i would park it with mezz if i timed it right well then great i would repeat...

-Buffing the group

-pre slowing and even slowing mobs if shaman/chanter was missing bards get a 37% slow on P1999 which isn't bad and it snares

-mezzing between 3 and 4 mobs if shit hit the fan(if i had to mezz 4 i would have to take a hit once in a while) bards mezz is very low agro compared to chanter from what i remember..

-hell at 65 i could even tank in group situations with time gear...

-amazing solo capability( ae kite, chant kite and charm kiting i did 49 to 53 in one very long sitting)

bards can do it all but you really have to know what abilities songs to use and when...
