Pretty much spot on. I played in the trilogy while I was very young and didn’t get into the game fully as a Bard until a few expansions in. I haven’t played on P99 blue, just Red and many other servers and live, where keeping aggro as a bard was near impossible.
Still surprised to see many people that want bards to tank with their incredibly low STA and other melee stats.
One thing that didn’t change was how squishy bards were. Yes, we wear plate, but our melee stats are fairly low. I feel like people are bard tanking with fungis on Blue and translate that to wanting to MT on Green.

Bard defensive skills keep up with tank classes in Classic, and they also get some of the highest returns on stamina gear. The biggest threat to tanks in this era are casters, especially ones with wizard nukes, not the garden variety melee mobs. You could probably group tank all the way to 50 in banded armor without much difficulty in Classic.
If you don't know what you're talking about, it's probably best not to debate people about it in a public forum. Stop being so prideful, realize you're wrong, and try to learn.
