Class that requires the most skill

Once you get used to the rhythm of twisting and the pattern of swarm kiting, neither of which should take more than a day, it's a class that takes little actual skill. You don't have to hold aggro, you don't have to maximize DPS, your "spells" always work exactly as expected and take no real timing... if you can tell which combination of songs to twist for the group you're in, I don't see what else can possibly take actual bard class skill.

Not only that but the entire essence of being a bard can be gleaned with just two hotkeys.
