So I have a 50 paladin and a 43 bard. I didn't enjoy tanking in this game as much as I though I would and decide on bard instead. Man I love playing this class...the freedom of moment is exactly what I look for in a range class for me. I hate being rooted into place while casting.

With that said...I haven't touch a bard past 50 and wanted the higher level bards opinions on much the cast times on the new songs change everything? How long are the cast times compared to cast ? Are bards basically casters now and theres no way around it? If yes I'm probably going to go a dps melee instead.

Of the three melee can anyone describe how the playstyles are?
I know monk is combo based..hit 1 gets 2 gets 3 ect.
What is ninja like? same as monk ? more proc based?
What about dragon, just a rotation type playstyle?

Any advice would be great.

Thank you
