You've got to be kidding me :)
LOL. What you ran into is someone who started a bard as their secondary
character. Odds are she was twinked to hell and doesn't know the first
thing as to how to play a bard. I'd be surprised if she's ever used
anything but selo's, hymn, and anthem ;)
People who play bards badly are the reason that others think we're a weak
class though ;) So no nerfs ;) Let 'em continue to think we're weak I say!
/em cheers on the idiot bards!
hehehe keep the morons so those of us that know our class can enjoy it more
(without nerfs ;)
