Bard (player) skill-cap?

[webrunner5]

I can tell you from playing EQ pretty much non stop for 16 years that having a GREAT Bard in a group is a Game changer. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But a Great Bard is only in a group because they are probably bored shitless from kiting, etc. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Just want to have some human contact lol. They Really do not Need to group!

A Great Bard can really be a one man band in a group. Everyone else can pretty much go AFK and they can get the job done. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So, just like every class on here, there is just a handful of people that you can count on both hands that are total stand outs. And I would bet you run out of fingers quicker on Bards than any other class on here. It is that hard to play one that well.

But even half good, or 3/4 good they are good to great to have in a group. They will make your time on here better not worse.

So go for it. You may be able to be great and not even know it, or just be a bit above average and still enjoy being one and have a good rep community wise. Win win for you, and the rest of us that suck at playing one, me included. I am just too old to do it any more, and yeah it applies to more than twisting lol. [You must be logged in to view images.
