I disagree. No one should learn how to play their class 50+. Showing up in Sebilis, getting a group and not knowing how to use your abilities properly just makes it harder for real Bards to get a group once they're finally able to get rid of you.

Project 1999 is my first Bard experience, so I grouped from 1-55 with some charm-rot solo here and there and I do not regret it. The class is amazing. I've never raided so I can't speak to that end but when XPing we are not static and that, for me, is what makes Bard so fun - serving different roles for different groups.

I personally feel that you should not swarm your levels unless you're already familiar with Bard or simply never intend to group.

This probably sounds painful to most bards, but I'd agree with this. Bards can do a lot of things. If you swarm to 50, you'll be learning them on the job in KC. That isn't really the best place to be doing that. Not because KC is super difficult, but because you just won't learn a lot of your best tricks in one established dungeon.

Bard is a class that demands experimentation to play to its fullest. There's no good substitute for doing, and swarm kiting won't teach you anything you'll learn in any other part of the game. Join groups, learn stuff.
