Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

[QUOTE="Brandegoris, post: 7081318, member: 6867337"] Yea sure.Did they give like TWO commands before they were sliced down wielding their drum LOLOL Im not talking about ARMIES guys. Im talking 5-6 dudes fighting 10 Orcs and one of them is being an obnoxious poet while everyone else is sword swinging. Some of what people are saying sounds fine when they say Bards as casters or without musical instruments etc... Except that why even have a bard if you take away the instruments? Then they are the same as a sorcerer or Wizard. My point? They are silly if played as is with an instrument or poetry in combat, and if you try and ignore the Musical part they are not needed because they just duplicate a class already in play. I like the idea of them being an NPC class a Little better I HAVE heard some better concepts in this thread though. My problem may just be that its hard to find someone that can play a bard that doesn't make it feel wanky and silly, but it CAN be done sometimes [/QUOTE]
