Bard AC/Tank question

[BardPop]

I had around 645 ac at my 20s and now 800 at 52, as a bard i group with warriors and monks routinely, I have to say they tank way way better. At no level up to 52 have i ever been able to tank, so i don't know what lv you were but its not true at my level.

Case in point: soloing a green con at 52 with with melee i take massive damage, only real way to kill is kiting.

Now on the other hand i have seen wars of my lv soloing mobs in the mid to high 30s taking no damage whatsoever. I have even been in a solb group where the war was gaining hp every mob, no healer besides a heal song from me (no lute equiped, no epic). So to me if you want to tank i'd say be a massive twink with full singing steel and an ikky bp from the get go, or don't.

Thats probably what people are talking about when they say a bard can tank well, that at 60 range with epic gear or whatever, they will tank trash. If your a group player who is not rich doubt it'll happen
