Subject: RE: [eqbards] GZ answers some bard questions


Everyone seems to be using Summon Food and Drink as the prime examples of
uselessness. Well aren't we the class that has been complaining rather
loudly for over a year that our forage was capped so darned low? Well
aren't we?

Warrior Greaves cast Invisibility. That's cool, but we have a song for that
guys. Think about it, we *don't* have songs that can summon food and drink.
I think it's kinda nifty, but I will admit that I hope the BP casts Gate.
:)
