Agreed. Bards have the main hand damage bonus. No casters have that. This is the best evidence to support Bards being a hybrid IMO. Same with Rangers/SK's/Paladins, who also have the main hand damage bonus.

Yea, aside from combat tables the lack of mana use for all but two songs and mana regen spells not affecting the bard is another curious one for “not a melee”.
It’s not odd that most bards swarm to 60. I charmed mostly which was easy and less stressful (but slower exp). On live many reverse kited since people played more casually. Geared bards will tank geos in place and melee away (my buddy did it 57-60), swapping MH instruments and clicking the SS BP. In groups some bards will melee, others won’t. On raids with an epic and melees in your group you will melee a lot.
Being able to kill stuff in various ways, group, solo, and be a useful in raids makes for an outstanding class. Gearing one is VERY affordable. Clicking songs constantly can be annoying but it’s still exciting to play as a begrudging clicker…I just tend to use another class thats less work. I also complain about torping back mana though so take that with a grain of salt, lol.
