Wow that seemed od to me friend. I dueled my level 21 wizard friend when
I was level 19 and he was in serious trouble. An initial cast knocked me
silly for about 1 bubble of hp, but beyond that the battle degenerated
into him trying to cast Fade and me slapping him with a dragoon
dirk/combine rapier while singing the lullaby. If I had an off-hand
weapon that alternated I probably would have done better then I actually
did. So we can easily stand toe to toe with casters. BTW my friend was
interrupted about 95% of the time between the lullaby and the smacking he
was getting. Mind you this was a while ago and Verant may have been kind
enough to nerf us. I have read a number of threads that claim bards are
too powerful and that we need x song and x ability removed. Another case
of envy and lack of knowledge. I don't know about all of you, but I have
never felt overly powerful just extremely useful =).
