Classic or not.. I feel one player should not be able to clear a whole zone.. I just don't get how anyone other than bards doing the same shit can defend this.

I feel one class should not be able to heal a player for 6000 HP with 400 mana when another class only heals for 900 for 400 mana.

I feel one class should not be able to decrease a mobs DPS by 50% with a single debuff when other players single debuffs reduce mob DPS by less than 5%.

Etc etc

Some classes are good at some things. Bards happen to be very good at mass killing non-casting, non-summoning, small hit box mobs.

Bards also happen to be horrible DPS, mediocre tanks, and relegated to buff bots feeding mana or stacking DS/Resists on raids. Pros on Cons of the class.

WTB Fading Memories. But yeah, raid wise just buff bots. Lots of fun in groups though, although you always feel like your working way harder than the rest of your group lol.

I feel like such a fool for putting 5 points into intelligence for more fading memories.

I was all prepared to go straight for some Flowing Thought items on Luclin... alass.. no fading memories and a wasted 5 points to useless intelligence

Considering the topic, the age of the forum and servers, and the approach taken - yes, it's a troll post. Seriously, the time to do anything about bards kiting swarms for free in a non-classic manner was years ago.

Just in time for the 1 thread a week about how shitty bard aoe is

[Daldaen]

Fading Memories was incredible during PoP. Wasn't too OP for its cost, very balanced and made the class far more fun to play as a puller.

Gave me a reason to stack FT on a bard.

Im sure glad someone finally brought this issue up. I think it would be nerfed if more people were aware of this problem. Thanks Revelation for finally shedding light on this issue that has been ignored for so long. The last dozen posts clearly just werent enough to get the word out.

The only playable classes should be Fighter, Cleric, Thief, Magic User, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling for a true classic experience.
