[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5030297, member: 54846"] This. With my cunning Bard, I felt like I could seriously hamper enemies. I was sliding them around giving extra attacks, dominating them, etc. At the time, I had Allegro, which saved the party's bacon TWICE - once that got everyone out of a grab situation, and once a boxed in position. CUnning Bards can also slide one person free each round, so that can often get a player out of a few scrapes. The ability for the Inspiring Word to grant a free slide is also useful. My Prescient Bard is basically the "Not so fast" bard. I can protect people from getting hit (Prescient class feature), make an attack hit (Rhythm of the Bloody Blade or so) and grant some nasty damage as well as prevent a hit (Warning Shot). Dancing between Vicious Mockery and Jinx Shot lets me at least almost prevent attacks. Alsolat +Cha to out of combat healing is very, very useful. The Valorous bard I ran for was equally useful. His ability to lower enemy defensese with an at-will made elite and solo monsters more palatable. And his dailies - "Here, take some HP every time you hit this guy" was quite useful. It's not so much the raw power - but they are flashy, and have a lot of tools in their toolkit. [/QUOTE]
