I'm a bit confused why wouldn't a bard be a hybrids along those lines? They
get rogue skills along with a mix of songs from all the casting classes.
They have some enchanter type spells, some druid/shaman type spells, and
even some dots which you could throw in under Necros. I'm sorry but because
of the huge mix from all the classes bards are obviously a hybrid by this
definition. The definition which happens to be the one Verant obviously
uses.
