I really love playing a bard, so don't get me wrong - but in light of the
things I have been hearing on this thread it seems like maybe we should all
get together and petition Verant to throw us bards a frickin bone.
I mean, to have to wait all that time just to get the thieving skills and
then to have them max out at 35 and 40 what use are they?
Would you really be using the sneak skill when it is maxed at 35? Who cares
if we never get a chance to be very good at it?
I intend to continue playing this class and really am having a good time, I
just think in light of the circumstances there are a lot of skill that I was
excited about in the beginning that I pretty much don't even consider
anymore because they seem useless.
Dual wield at 17 is really cool, and Bellows in place of kick is fine, but
why no dual attack? Apparently the bardic class was VERY powerful in beta
and had to be toned down but I am thinking maybe it was toned down in the
areas that made it too powerful and forgotten about in the areas it is very
weak in. Am I totally off base? I mean why give me the capability to have
skills I will never be very good at?
