Well, one thing I like about this group is you all
actually LIKE playing a bard. That may sound silly
but a lot of message boards out there are just
whinning about the class.

Anyway, I had heard about the 'tauting' effects of our
songs, but for the most part, it never bothered me,
sure I get the mobs attention, and even take a lot of
dammage, no biggie, just make nice with the cleric.
Well, after turning 21, Guk and Unrest have become
whole new places.

First guk, near the scryer room my party of six where
bashing every froglock in sight, gaining massive exp
and loot. So we say, what the heck, lets go in the
room. Well, on knight comes after us, so I use my
melodic binding song that I love so much. Big
mistake, from behind one of our tanks I saw no less
than 15 assorted froglocks come up the stairs, and who
do you think they were headed for? Well, after about
5 minutes of root, root, root, root, I was taking the
long walk back from freeport. Get back, grab my
stuff, play anthem for my friends in battle, and what
do you think happened? Again, I'm dragged down under
a sea of amphibious flesh. So after a while, I say,
heck, I'll head over to good ole unrest, what could be
safer? Get there, find some good friends I could
trust, and we get to slayin undead. One of the dry
bones makes a run for the house, silly bard that I am,
I chase him, again, still singing a song, forget which
one. Withing seconds the doors fly open and carrion,
monks and the reclusive ghoul magi beeline right at
the wide eyed me, who didn't even have time to type in
a profanity. So I come back from butchers block.
Fighting a while, see a wisp to the left of the house,
facing the back. Someone in my guild needed a light
stone, so I run to grab it, while singing my little
anthem. All of a sudden, the hag 3 floors up starts
casting on me from a window, and I wake up at home
among the trees. That sucked. Does this mean we
can't use any of our aoe or buffs anywhere near a
dungeon? Well, at least my calves are built up from
zone running :)
