At a meager level 13, I grouped with several lvl 20+ characters the other
day in Highpass who were delighted to have me in the party. Of course I got
no xp, but that was never my intention. (I did make about 20pp in just
under an hour and bought my Dragoon Dirk for essentially no out of pocket
expense. Hehe!!) I didn't even have to fight, just equipped my lute, made
sure I was within range of them all as they were fighting, twisted heal with
anthem and ocassionally tossed in a bellow on the rare orc that conned less
than red to me. Their downtime was so minimal, it was sick. I was
constantly getting "I love bards" and "I love this song!" They were
actually getting bored waiting for the next orc train to show. Which was
pretty cool considering when I first arrived, they had all just sprinted out
of the zone away from a train!!

Doh, so close to actually saying something positive about the bard in
EverQuest. No offense, but if you want to put in your 2cp on how bad you
believe the bard is, please reserve your comments to those which might
actually be helpful or, save it for the message boards. The vast majority
of the people on this list LOVE their bards and play them religiously. Some
even continue to add postive input to the list long after their bard has
played out or achieved lvl 50 (Much Congrats Shada!!!!) I love this list
for all the useful info I get. I don't want to hear how bad I am going to
suck when I get to level X. Seems that we have several people here that
have experienced quite the contrary.
Just my opinion,
