Kitasi raises some good points IMO. Although I always enjoy this type of
discussion, I think we will have to wait until the expansion comes out
before we will know what Verant has in store for the bards and other
classes. Its too bad that Verant is tight lipped when it comes to
discussion of class mechanics. In addition to new songs, I am hoping that
we will get new skills like parry and riposte (with caps high enough to be
useful) at some point after 50th level. If the only thing we get are raises
to the caps of our current skills, then I for one will be quite
disappointed.

I don't know how useful it would be, but maybe the bard community (mailing
list and Concert Hall board) should bang heads together and come up with a
list of song ideas and skills that we would like to see get added with the
expansion. The way I interpreted GZ's response to our questions, Verant
seems to be having a hard time coming up with new song ideas. Maybe we
could help them out some. I volunteer John Kim, Shada and Rokenn to take
the lead on this:-)
