Subject: Re: [eqbards] Proposal to change how bard haste songs stack with enchanter/sham an haste spells


I personally think our power is balanced with the other classes as the
game currently exists and any haste stacking would overpower the bard
class.

One of the flaws that I see in a lot of arguments for more powers is ''in literature
bards have...blah blah blah'', or ''in history, bards were....blah blah blah'', or my
favorite, ''in my vision bards should be able to do....blah blah blah, the designer
Verant's vision is obviously wrong''. While everquest can be said to be loosely based
on various fantasy sources, it is a separate entity and any direct comparisons to
external sources really aren't necessarily a compelling argument for or against anything.
