I do not follow please explain?
somehow none of them are my type and I am definitely not any of theirs, not that I mesh well with the game, too many options to remember.
Bards have been mocked since 2E if not 1E. There's memes these days.
In BG3 swords bard archer or Paladin2 Swords bard 10 has a claim to best class in the game. Skills, charisma, damage. Lore bard is no slouch either.
Damage is traditionally low swords bard not so much while lore bard can aquire haste, staff that creates water and glyph of warding which becomes a very big fireball in effect if combed with a cleric.
Charis.a skills are very important as well and guidance plus bard dice rock for them.
Bardic song of rest is also great.
There's 4 S tier classes in BG3. Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Sorcerer. Probably Paladins as well.
