I hear ya [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] . A good bard is a marvel to witness at work. Definitely a love or hate gameplay style. Either I'm a marginal player, marginal bard, or just not confident in myself...probably a some of each, Lol.

I've always seen a SK as having some bard tricks plus feign death. Less capable compared to a really good bard but definitely simple to play. Way more downtime. If the OP wants a "modern" MMO feel in an old MMO the bard is definitely a path. The nice thing is you will know if you love or hate the game play fairly soon after starting it.
