I learned something from this epic bard discussion.

Some of us were mana batteries, and proud. What else did we bring to the endgame except resists?

Our puller was a bard.

And yet monks are better in every way in that department up to Velious, aren't they? I know Thott loved pulling and championed Bards as raid pullers, but I think he got his way because he was one of the leaders. No way a Bard can split the guards around the AoW for instance. Even good monks had trouble.

Mind you, I have to admit I never really liked pulling as a Bard, unless it was an outdoor zone.

Main tank bard could also max out damage shields.

We had monk pullers at some point. To be honest, my memory is poor which is why I am little help to this project. (It does allow me to enjoy this server all the more)

Thott's pulling rant to a monk:

While you may not like being forced into the role of damage dealer, consider this: it's better than the role of mana battery or AFK buffer, and that's what your role theft has reduced bards and enchanters to.

Bard casted version of something should stack with every other version of something. Even if they are the same spell.

IE: Double flame shield buff, double tash on a mob (one from enchanter cast, one from a bard orb proc) etc.
