Tell me you've never been a good bard without telling me you've never been a good bard.

The mana you can provide a caster group even WITHOUT cantana, just pulses, is pretty immense.

Yes, if all you do is stand there and chain-cast Cassindra's Chorus of Clarity over and over, in which case your sole contribution to the group is some mana regen. You will be doing literally nothing else because it's not a buff song, it's a single pulse of 5-7 mana. No pulling, no haste song, no CC, just a glorified mana totem. That is not worthy of a spot in a group.

I love it when some imbecile comes in with the "haha ur bad at the game" and then vomits up some theoretical nonsense that nobody actually does because it isn't a functional way to play the game. But hey, if you want a bard who just stands there chain-casting mana song at all times, and you actually think that's what qualifies as a good bard, then knock yourself out.

But you're not the one who should be telling people they're bad at Everquest.

Yeah, Bards are kind of mediocre before they get Cantata.
