I typically have an MR in the 190 range, 230 if I'm paranoid. It significantly changes things.

230 MR..... right, well - let me know when most Bards are running around with that much during classic era.
Until then you get conflag'd for 60% of your hp and then book it to the unpopulated part of South Karana with selo's.
Keep in mind that that most of the big dog PvP in classic takes place in Lower Guk and Solusek B. The outdoor zones (Fear/Hate) are too agro for Bards to take advantage of.
Maybe my opinion is skewed but in Kunark I could nearly outregen most bard damage on my ikky monk.
This isn't to say that Bards suck - they're impossible to kill outdoors and will give casters a rough time if they're prepared for it + pick off the occasional undergeared melee. If this is classic EQ PvP though then they don't go beyond that. I haven't been playing the beta but you should not be able to chain the mez song on someone in PvP. That wasn't doable on live against anyone with a moderate amount of MR.
