Subject: RE: [eqbards] Today's patch message.


Well since we are the Jack of All Trades (Master of None) I just take it in
stride. Besides, there aren't all that many enchanters around, and when
there are, the enchanters are always happy to have me in the group with them.

As always, it depends on the situation. Sometimes a bard might be better,
sometimes a specific class would be better. Besides, if you're grouped with
a bunch of jerks who boot you from a group, simply because they want one
class over another, I'd be only too happy not to be with a them.
