Ok Phantom, please go ahead and post your screen shot taking out a rooting/stunning group of 3 players, or any proficient solo stunning class played by a proper player.
With stun landing 59% of the time against 150mr (directly from the developers numbers and in line with my experience), what are you going to range abuse exactly? Perhaps you intend on twisting a resist combo pack and wooing them to death...
You come in to chant, and you will eventually get hit by a 1.5 second cast of similar range. Within the first 1-5 dips you will be stunned, you will be gang raped.
Bottom line, you may not have run across anyone trying to actively stun you yet. Look I'm not for or against bards, but don't mislead the masses. People have the right to make informed decisions.
Anyways this thread is way off topic, cheers.

There were rooting classes/snare classes (druids/sks; also some paladins but those were pre-patch and couldn't land anything), and they couldn't land snares/roots on me consistently. Cleric/Pally stuns last 4 seconds at best, in that time you have to be able to close 200 range, doable, but every time?
I typically have an MR in the 190 range, 230 if I'm paranoid. It significantly changes things.
I'm not saying its fool proof, but its doable at the current state of mechanics.
As said, bards have counters, mainly where selo's isn't viable(indoors), nukes landing, having a lot of good clickies or generally catching them offguard, but people thinking its like back in live where Tuyen's chants were hard to land will be in for a surprise, you're looking at 98-131 pvp dot's with safe resist and selo's twisting and a peak 5-dot twist of 264 in PVE at 50 with naggy drums (not ever gonna be useful in pvp though, too short range).
Agreed offtopic, but people should indeed be informed and know what to expect.
