Reroll Syndrome. Help.

[Saludeen]

After many rerolls I stuck with bard and got to 51 last night. This is my second level 50 bard and I can easily twist 4 songs, charm, fear kite, dot, heal, etc. But when I went to lower Guk to solo my DE mask I died to the first green I tried to solo and the class felt so weak. PVP feels equally weak as a because I can't kill anyone faster than they can kill me, nor can I outheal their damage, nor can I kite at the edge of range because if i'm in range long enough to dot them then they can still get a spell off (except melee who have no chance outdoors.)

Many people say bards are solid at 60, but that doesn't seem logical. Do I just need better weapons + haste? Is there a better strat for 1v1 pvp against casters when 1-2 spells kill me (despite resists)? Are bards just good selos bots? Don't they get wrecked indoors? Why should I keep playing my bard? I just want a class that can destroy anyone 1v1 as long as I have the skill to do so. A great player with a bad class can do well, but a great player with the best class is almost unstoppable.

Suggestions? I'm always drawn to monk, but they seem so easy to play. Considering necro, wiz, or druid too.
