They're hybrids. Rangers are also hybrids, yet they get dual wield, double attack, and kick. Bards also had quad attack in EQ:OA for the PS2. Pallies and SK's are hybrids yet they get Double Attack and Bash. So why does the Bard get the shaft in melee being a Hybrid?

Balance? They can cast while moving, while simultaneously being the fastest moving class in the game. Those two things combined make them super powerful at times. I think Bards do alright, both leveling and in the endgame, if they are played with knowledge and some skill. That's good design to me.
To be honest, I think the EQ Bard is the best implementation of the class in any game ever made. It's the right balance of vulnerable, powerful, and requiring real effort to play well.
