    I also played a Bard back in EQ1 back in 1999. I backed Ashes with the hope it would be a return to a Bard that played support with some fun combat options. Loved pulling entire zones back on the day. I do wonder what the combat will look like with this class.

    My guild leader is a bard irl and will be in game as well. He's already dropped an album/story series.
    I'm going Cleric (priest/priest) because I've never done it and want a challenge. I know I'll need his support.
    If they added something like LotRO's music system that would be absolutely awesome, ngl.

    I will say one thing with tarisland bard they offered a rather interactive mechanic with 1/2 skill generating coloured music not (as seen in bottom middle of ur tarisland bard clip) and the 3 skill did something based on what coloured muisic note was on that scroll. And talents unlocked more coloured notes which changed the 3 skill.
    Only played tarisland for like 4 hours so dont know how deep it goes but it seemed rather basic but expanding on a mechanic like that could be interesting keeping bard more interactive gameplay.
    I do hope what ever they do with bard is there a little more interactive than just a buff bot cycling through short duration aura's

    6:40 that is definitely not something they are planning. You'll probably be able to create a dps bard but you'll sacrifice the buffing potential.
    Imo not everyone needs to be able to dps, but everyones job should be fun and fulfilling. There is a video about the node war live stream where a guy says he created a hybrid of cleric and dps so there is definitely a possibility of making those, and he also said that it has impacted his ability to heal a lot. Obviously there is gonna be balancing so you can't be master of all trades.

      @@HalIOfFamer the fun and fulfilling part is what in interested in. And the mana battery isn't something they are planning? I assume not. But the general opinion from most the PI testers was mana was an issue, and all said they needed that bard. May not be intentional but it may become a reality. We shall see on the next live stream.

      @@Roarrior there is an interview of Steven where he breaks down how the grouping system will work.
      1. Group comp is gonna be important, 8 of the same class will probably not work.
      2. Loot is finite, the more people in a party the less loot everyone gets.
      3. Most dungeons are gonna be open world
      From this I conclude that(and I may be wrong):
      1. some dungeons will require bard and in some he might be redundant.
      2. You might consider stocking up on consumables instead of bringing another guy who's purpose is to be a mana bot
      3. Other people might come and gank you so wasting a slot on a mana bot might cause you to lose a pvp encounter, as they are usually very short and not that mana intensive.
      If I am correct, and I dunno if I am, having those X bot classes that just press 1 button might be very ineffective in day to day adventuring and very specialized for a select few encounters which will make picking them for groups feel inefficient and thus they'll level very slowly. And that might lead to them not being popular.
