[QUOTE="Jackinthegreen, post: 6078378, member: 6678119"] The bolded part blew me away a fair bit. Between the animal companion, spells, and wild shape, they are definitely powerful and extremely versatile. Duskblade's problem is that damage can only take a class so far, thus they're 3 at best and not very far up in it. Thankfully they do have other utility options to round things out, but they aren't at all powerful compared to a Favored Soul or Sorcerer. The right barbarian build can literally do thousands of damage per round (and last I heard there was a 10k+ build), but such a build would only be T3/4 because killing stuff isn't necessarily all it's cracked up to be given all the D&D possibilities. T2 is when reality warping comes into play after all. Dragon Shamans might feel similar to a Bard, but in terms of actual mechanical power they're closer to Marshals which are a solid T4. Bards have a lot of splat support that can really enhance their music and spells, and without that might be placed as T3/4. [/QUOTE]
