As a Bard player, I have to say:

[Gloomlord]

75% of Bard players should stop playing Bard.

Nothing is more exasperating than seeing a Bard play only one song, whilst doing utterly subpar melee damage. I complain every single time I see it, and I'm fed up with everyone staying silent about it in groups.

Sorry you got mana song, hope that helps.

Stopped reading right there. If you're doing melee as a bard you're a complete shitter.

Hope this helps.

Unsure if this is a joke, but I'm one of the bards who don't melee.

I keybind every song slot and swap instruments.

It's funny how people joke about how I should play mana song and shut up, but a lot of bards don't even do that. They basically just play a subpar rogue.

I always found it amusing how some games gave Bard classes a weapon like, "Do you want me to play music or no? I need both hands..."

Hell, caster classes don't melee - why should Bards? Jam on my brother. Play that funky music, elf boy

Bards with Epic should definitely be doing melee enough to sustain the Epic proc, in melee centric groups.

If you can't instrument swap and melee as a Bard, you are lazy. Hope this helps

I’d prefer even heavy micromanagement of a bard to the mind numbing monotony of simply hitting backstab every few seconds on rogue

No offense to rogues, but melees in this game are far too basic in terms of how they play compared to (some) casters. I understand that there’s positioning and pulling and stuff which helps tho

But that’s one thing that WoW noticed and heavily improved on, their melees were just as complex as their casters with their own resource systems and wide range of abilities
