Unhappy spoony RNG with harp here ...
I loved my 1.23 bard and the run here to buff the mages, run there to buff the tank, make team run faster, raise whm 1 during fight, cure tank so whm 2 can can be raised ... It was challenging and fun. Now, I don't know when to sing my songs. Foe's Requiem lures all the mobs towards you. I can't see the TP of my party members so I can't judge when to sing Paeon. Everybody has Sprint which overrides Swiftsong. The only thing I've actually been able to enjoy singing in Beta is Mage's Ballad.

But I know, a lot of people want a physical ranged DD. And the role of "Support" has been negated. So I guess I'll just have to get use to my RNG with a harp.

I wish there were more songs. I wish there was a way to "Play" your instrument like in LOTRO - just to be a bit more bard like even if it's not really anything useful in game. Travel from tavern to tavern playing things like Suteki Da Ne or November Rain just for fun.
