The best bard on the raid should be in the tank group

I don't think a raid was ever won or lost due to the presence of a bard.

Gore / Fear / VP say hi

Bard bad then? All bard bad. You been grouped wiff a good one ever? Like one that augments the current group structure?
There is also a typing messaging element to the UI you know. So like msg them saying can you MR DS mana pump and haste only please. Mana and MR 1st. Others are just cream. For example.
This is from a grouping perspective. Dont raid leaders delegate shit thats needed?

Yeah you can't beat any of those bosses without a bard. I mean, you can, but it's harder.

Point stands; bards are annoying douches.

Yeah, we did pretty good for a bit there. There's kind of a cascade success thing with that where we had a strong response for a bunch in a row, and then it became really easy to run more Vindis since we were doing it so much that you could almost always get the needed people without having to do too much other than call the window. That makes it easy on the raid leaders since we don't have to try and find people to log on and potentially move to see if we can get the roles filled.

Then since we're doing it so much people show up to get DKP or hang out or whatever since they know stuff is happening. And since we were doing it a lot people got good at the roles for the FTE and pull and we actually win a decent amount, so then it incentivizes people to come because something might actually be happening.

It also meant we could do stuff like Finalized's corpsed box of the voids for rampage tanking since there was a pretty good chance we would end up using them in a given week. Its not too bad to set up if you're actually going to use them, but its a bit too much if you're just going to have to recorpse them over and over.

Once we stopped killing him all the time, a lot of the momentum fades and its a lot of work to get it going again.

I'm not sure what that means but no I'm just a member of the silent majority who think bards stink.

I mean yeah, they let you cheese the hardest fights in the game easier. Is that "skill" in everquest now?
