**looks baffled**
Maybe it's just because I've played a bard to 30ish levels 3 times but I've
never had difficulty solo'ing ;) Even in beta I didn't have that hard a
time levelling up (well at least till after 30th. The 30's are sheer and
utter hell. Especially now that the servers are so crowded ;)
But yes, we're one of the most difficult classes to play _well_. Anyone can
play AT a bard. Only a very few have the talent, patience and knowledge to
BE a bard. Those of us that can have a ton of fun. Generally speaking
people who make a bard just to see what it's like will hate it. It's a
class you either adore or you hate. To play, that is ;)
Kudos Crier! Job well done on 50 ;)
Now if I can just get Lyrnia through her 30's on Veeshan I can join you in
the 50's {8^D
Lyrnia Jongleur - 35 Bard - Veeshan
Lyrniali Windsinger - 50 Bard - Test Server (trying to level up to 5X to
try the new songs)
Lyrnia Windsong - 30 Bard - Beta 2, 3, 3.5, 4
