Subject: Replying to bind and grouping issues


Hi all,
Been reading the digest.. couldent resist the bind issue.. I tried belive me!
I personally dont feel ANY need for bind and I think that it would make the game
unbalanced "hybrids" and bards where allowed to bind everywhere.
The reason why I think it would be unbalancing is that it would allow the groups
to get back into the dungeon much faster (before respawns). Besides I dont think
that if bind would give you more than 30-50mins of extra play pr level (how much
in % do that add up to?) you die to often and might want to rethink your
strategi. Sure bards CAN die alot more than other classes, but if youre in the
right groups you WONT. I cut drastically on my death rate when I decided that
the only times I would take risks is when a competent healer is around
(druid/shaman will do). If you like me play in pickup groups, keep an eye on
them at first and keep Selo/fear memmed until you can trust em with your life.
As I have gotten more and more critical with the groups I stay in I have downed
my death rate in groups to 2-3 times per level. Most deaths now a days is when I
solo and get over confident :o).
I dont think that the bard lack any skills etc. at my current level (28th
birthdate 2nd of April 1999, played 28days something).
The key note to staying alive as a bard IMO is good groups! Let me hear you all
/shout we want good groups!!
