Hmmmm... I dont know as a healer Bards wasnt that much of a problem, I mean they silenced a couple times but I was able to eat through it. But as Smn Bards are a pain. I've bodied plenty of Bards as Sch verses kills as Smn... With that said I main Bard and dont care for it in PvP maybe I just had bad experiences of not getting heals when I begin to burst out everything but IMO I dont like playing bard in PvP....
