Hrm, I disagree. A warrior in banded will outlast (against the same mob) a
bard of equal level in better armor simply because the warrior will have
like TRIPLE the hitpoints, and that will make a ton of difference.

I know this is true with rangers vs. warriors - for example, my ranger in
mostly rubicite will not be as good of a tank as a warrior my level in
banded - just because of the hitpoint difference. I would say this
difference would be much more pronounced if you use a bard in the example,
because bards have even LESS hitpoints.

Now, I'm just talking about taking damage - sure, bards can use songs to
counter their disadvantages. But, my point is that better armor will not
make a bard a better tank than a warrior of equal level.
