Yeah, which people get tired of really, really quick.
Plus my twist does kill me from clicking so much.
When I'm on the Planes it's basically a flirtfest: lots of typing.

It's nice for looking around, in Fear the monsters tend to pull you
and not vice versa ;)

> Chains when snare won't hold for one reason or another.

I'll chain once in a while, usually too high magic resistance
on the planes to do this (even with debuffs) - depends on the mob.

> She doesn't seem to think her songs are worthless at all.

I never said our songs are worthless, I said other than 3 or
4, they are all outlived or underpowered.

> I've even seen her sit down between battles and mem new songs!

Ouch... she must not know what she's doing then. I never need
to remem any songs once my lineup is set. You don't even have
8 songs you could apply to any given Planes scenario anyway, heh.

> And, when it comes to fighting, she is in their swinging with the rest.

Swinging and missing, unlike the rest. It's not that our dual wield
sucks, or that our weapons blow, or even our offense, I swing a whole
lot, more than all the other tanks, I just miss all the time. Or I
get riposted or parried.

> I have never heard her complain about being a level 50 bard.

Well, some people are content with being mediocre, I'm not.

Yeah, bards are encouraged to come when people want their fix, and
when it's time to do Draco, otherwise we are pretty much tagalongs.

> Did you know a level 7 bard can take out yellow giant wasps solo?

Did you know a level 50 bard cannot solo a L34 npc guard? ;-)

Things change completely at higher levels, tactics are almost
meaningless. HP/AC/Dmg output are everything.

Harmonic.
