Sounds like you just want to play a shaman. A bard is super limited in farming high end stuff solo where as a shaman is the second, or in some cases the first, best class for it.

The main difference is a bard with 10k worth of gear can do 99% of the same things as a bard with the best gear available. On the other hand a shaman with 10k in gear will be substantially weaker than a shaman with epic/torpor which require ~200k or some luck.

High level Bard can sell PL's naked besides instruments and make a ton of money, shaman is a "spend money to make money" class.

Thanks for the input / info, especially on later levels. I never played either class during live so I'm not overly familiar with them.
