Quad group, would a bard work?

@Brecon That is what I was thinking it would look like. Play the Bard almost 100% as a caster. Sure I would have weapons, but I imagined it would be me sitting near the casters helping them recover. Doing my best to CC charm breaks or backing up chanter on normal CC if it got out of hand. And Dotting/debuffing the mobs. I had originally thought the bard buff songs would impact the pets, but it came to my attention it does not, however I still think there is a lot of potential. The cool thing about going shaman over bard is that, although it is kinda meh, they too get a pet. and dots. and the buffs. and the spot heals. But I think bard will ultimately bring more to the table, despite it being less conventional.

Thanks for all the replies.
