<snip> Bertoxx Bards are enjoying a bit of a renaissance - I
typically see 18 in the 40-60 range and 30 or more from 1-39. <snip>

I personally think that alot of the "old" bards are getting dusted
off and played with the new mezz song changes, song additions and such. As
a level 55 bard, my friends are beginning to see me as a viable replacement
for an enchanter in many "Exp groups". With a combination of root parking
and bard mezzing, we can do some of the "deeper" areas of dungeons that have
historically been limited to only groups with enchanters.

My regular grouping buddies have commented that in the "lower
stress" mezzing situations..i.e. with 3 or less creatures requiring mezzes,
I am actually a better choice for mezzing since I have such low resists with
the level 53 song. Not to mention...I can take a hell of a lot more beating
than an enchanter can.
