If this fix was intended maybe it would be wise for them to remove class exp penalty as well.

Because i would like to see on the eq timeline where they changed this before luclin?

could you outrun mobs w/out sow with strafe? at least i didn't know of this till i got to p99

If you played a bard during the timeline yes you could it was eventually patched out.

If I remember correctly it was post Velious.

Yeah , the sad part is the bards DPS is terrible , they are a pure utility class. This ability to use these utilities makes them strong at doing a number of things other than melee. But because this game is a such a grind fest people will take a chanter/monk/rogue over a bard for the fact of exp penalties.This goes for other hybrids as well.

Post-Velious patch changes this yes.... but this change to run speed effects not only bards but every class, hurting those even more without run speed spells or effects..

that's quite sad, the mentality back in this era on live was that a good bard increased the groups efficiency/dps beyond that of having another dps instead, heck groups often had an enc (w/out the OP charmed pets) and a bard for some amazing groupage.
