Is a bard wrong for me?

[sajbert]

Bard doesn't have to pull much, rarely any advanced stuff either. In raids you mosty just twist songs, that's it. In groups you just afk-sing or twist. You can do amazing shit or sit on your arse, depending on your ability but expectation is low.

You can solo or group to 60, swarm for fastest leveling in the game if you want.

Epic is hard but not impossible.

You miss nothing starting a bard today instead of classic, other than maybe the gnome mask which almost no one has or ever will, it's nifty but that's about it.

Only downside with a bard would be no real ability to solo big cash camps and no ability to gate or port. Not sure if a VP-keyed veeshan bard who hasn't killed any relevant dragons could hammer to OT and travel to VP and sing the mobs to non-KOS to access the portals there for access to sky, freeport and swamp of no hope. Then if you are ToV bound you could get around the world quite well.
