Old EQ, New p99 Player Asking For Help...

I've only seen like 3 bards.

Don't play on the endgame on this server yet, but from prior experience doing that on live, a bard who knows how to pull is golden to a guild!
Add to that bards are screaming more adaptable then a rogue.

So if those are your 2 criteria bard is it.

if you want to see raw numbers by class do a search on these forums. There was one posted that shows you numbers by class.

Either way play them out for a bit is your best bet. By mid teens you start to get a feel for the class & whether or not you like. Best intentions of playing out a class often make you bitter towards it towards the end.

IMO the class that offers the best balance of solo, group, and raid abilities as well as requires some skill is the monk.

I love my Monk! Athough I see a ton of people playing them.

Unless you are GREAT at twisting you are wasting your time being a Bard. If you can't walk and chew gum at the same time forget a Bard. There are like 15 really good Bards on this server. The rest are twist 1 or 2 song wonders in groups. And very few are good at solo AE kiting. Singing a haste or mana song and going AFK in a group is not unusal with some Bards on here. "Sic"

It is a gift to be good at a Bard without Melody. Most are women also. I am not worth a crap at one on here, and I am not alone. Even then you will pay a heavy price with your hands and fingers doing it.

And if you are not good at pulling, and don't know the zones well a Monk is not a good bet also. But you can learn.

This game is not easy trust me. That is why Sony had so many updates and expansions to help it.

Play what you want and just stick to it. It is suppose to be fun.
