Basically what he means is, we get nerf'd so often cause Verant is targeting
some exploit or other class and since our skills cover such a wide range of
things we get pop'd with "the wrath of gods" and get nerf'd. In essance,
Verant sees the problem but doesn't see that it will affect bards :( Pretty
eloquent I'd say GG.
