:Bind Affinity is for pure spellcasters, not hybrids or jack-of-all-trades.
:My Cleric has traveled much more than my Bard, and this was before the
Cleric had Bind Affinity.

Correct me if I'm wrong (not meant to be sarcastic), but Clerics are
actually not pure spellcasters. Wizards, Enchanters, Magicians, and Druids
are the only pure spellcasters (Druids technically being a hybrid, but only
of pure spellcasters, thus making them one). Clerics are a hybrid of
warrior and spellcaster (healing spells). This is proven by the fact that
they can use heavy metal armor and strong blunt weapons, and can usually
hold their own in battle, yet being a very effective magic class at the same
time with healing spells. So, if they are a hybrid and get Bind Affinity...

: There are no plans to allow bards to bind themselves. Bind Affinity is
for
: pure spellcasters, not hybrids or jack-of-all-trades. While Bards can
: travel a lot, we are the class that least needs Bind Affinity. With Selo,
: we can travel much faster than any other class (besides the high level
gate
: spells). And I don't understand where you think we are "supposed to be
the
: most traveling class in Norrath". My Cleric has traveled much more than
my
: Bard, and this was before the Cleric had Bind Affinity.
:
: Selo's does disrupt SoW. This is most likely a bug. Selos also disrupts
: Root. This is most likely the same bug. Fixing one bug will fix the
other
: bug. I think most Bards would prefer to have this "bug" in the game.
: Verant seems to be willing to leave it in for "gameplay".
