Fascinating . . . .
No good armor on the basis of roleplay sensibilities. I respect your
intentions, but Verant simply did not design the Bard class the way you
want play it. Without banded at least, I would be useless . . . completely
useless. (And like I said, I rather like my bronze)
I wouldn't mind having more Bard-like limitation in terms of armor, but it
would need to be balanced out by more powerful songs . . .you know, damage
songs that do 5 times as much damage as the bellow, buffing songs that act
more like Daring or Center . . . etc.
But since Norrathian Bards are not like this, I accept what Verant thinks a
Bard is.
