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

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?

^ Clearly Never Played bard. Rolls Bard. Realizes they actually suck at EQ.

Indeed. A well played bard is the unspoken hero of whatever group or raid they join. They are the WD40 of EverQuest.

Bard bards are just awful

… unless they at least remember to sing cantana with a lute.

If they can at least figure that shit out I will grudgingly tolerate them.

I don't see how it would be fun other than running fast. I've never played a raid warrior either, but I can see how that would be fun (sheer big dick energy).

When I was new to the server and a bard showed up at droga wanting to exp I invited him but after not seeing him melee at all I told him to dps and he said he didn’t have any weapons and I told him to go buy some and come back. He never came back. I’ve felt bad about this for a while but I’m still not completely sure I was unjustified.

100% justified

any decent bards should be twisting 4 songs while swapping instruments between song casts and meleeing mobs

decent bards should have max hand to hand skill due to the melee swings while switching weapons/instruments

The first red flag was a bard was willing to group for exp at that level.

It depends on the circumstances but bards have a variety of methods for generating DPS and in some circumstances weapons might not be the best. The only weapon you'll see a bard have equipped 100% of the time in any level/scenario is the epic.
