Starting out trying red.

[Steelkicks7812]

I have played EQ back in the day and on the TLP servers. Always did a Iksar Monk and want to try out a Bard on here. Are they Viable or would i just get slaughtered in the later levels? i got weird play times usually only during lunch breaks at work. Hear good and bad things about them but would like to give it a go. never played PvP before on here so that will also be interesting i think.
