Contemplating returning

God I hope they don't nerf bard...cause I actually do alright. But on the other hand there are no specialized armor olr items for bard ...makes me suspicious that maybe they might change something.

There are ARC/BRD focused sets as you get higher level. Example: Darklight and Allagan gear both have an "-of aiming" set which are ARC/BRD only and focus on DEX.

"Tanking sort of falls off endgame"... what?

People prefer PLD right now, if that's what you were talking about, but WAR should get a buff in 2.1.

Sorry, char limit. I did mean War tanking falls off. Good to know about 2.1 though.

I thought the producer from the feed commented that "Bard is a little too strong", yet there is another thread thats 52 pages about incoming nerf lol.

Even post nerf I may end up maining Bard because I like that you can shoot and move, and they look cool in Darklight, but AF2 not so much. Corsair from XI is a good example of a Dps/Hybrid but dice rolls were too random and you didn't get much room to shoot if you're running between dps and mages -- or in most cases I was in, buff PT, drop PT, rinse repeat. Not very fun.
