Because the Bard is poorly designed. That's why I hate it. It's a great idea, but the designers failed to execute. The Beguiler is well-designed. It lets you play an entertaining role at the game table without having to put up with the design failures of the Bard class. Besides which, the Beguiler is not exactly an alternate Bard. It has more of a Roguish slant, and includes a bunch of good infiltration spells.victorysaber said:Many people hate the bard.
The beguiler is an alternate bard, as many people have stated.
So why doesn't the beguiler get voted off? It doesn't have the jack of all trades ability of a bard... so why don't you vote the alternate bard off first?
Why does the beguiler still stay? That puzzles me.
Stalker0 said:Its interesting, a few rounds ago people thought scout might make it to the top 3, now I'm hearing a lot of scout hate all of a sudden, curious to see if it makes it.
I couldn't have said it better myself - the Warlock and Scout are just awesome, and both the beguiler and duskblade aer nice niche roles which were needed - espesically the Duskblade (although a better, if more vanilla name, could have been better). I see that the Knight got booted since I've last checked in, which is too bad - I really like that class.Thanee said:I don't find it very surprising, really. The Warlock and the Scout are probably the most-liked of the alternate classes, and the Beguiler and the Dreadblade are new and shiny and at least interesting to quite a few people.
*punt* PsiWar got my vote this round. Here's hopeing!Thanee said:Four (or six? seven? with CP) initially.Soon none.
Once the Psion is out, the Psychic Warrior will follow with a huge lead, I suppose (no splitting anymore), and then it's probably the Beguiler, but who knows what all the people who vote for the psychos since round one will vote for.
Can I hear an amen?Thanee said:Well, at least all those stupid oriental classes are all gone already.
