As bard there are a few things I don't like about being one lately. I can't find rvr groups, nor any pve groups for all that matter now every druid or buffbot has fop these days and way better buffs then I have. I keep in touch with some bards and I find our numbers decrease every week, rvr wize. Now why could this be...
-RvR groups are hard to get, if ur not in RvR guild, random groups ya can get sometimes but that's it.
-Durability in RvR, I usually get ganked first as instrument wearing support class with the only decent ability is to interupt with LuL while playing end.
- <random reply from a hib> 'We still need bards to mezz and play end!" End yes....Mezz....I got RvR specc on my bard and Mastery of Focus 2 and the best I can do against any decent rvr group of albs/mids I do is a lazy 20 second mezz. Have you got an idea how long mezz lasts against a good tank with high determination? Exactly 13 seconds, I've counted them. So, don't read the spell duration on ur mezz cuz it'll say 1:10 min but ya get lucky if u get 20. Result, group gets pissed cuz I supposedly didn't mezz or so and I end up with a nice assist train on me but and a nice hib mud dinner.
-Artifacts, When ya meet an alb group or mid for that matter at least 50% of their casters have that nice mezz/stun feedback item. Very nice, can I use that nerfbat for a minute there Mythic?
-Future DAoC, Horses...yeah there cool! Awesome! Propably go near bard speed! There goes my job as Taxi!
Last group I had was 3 rangers that just wanted me for end in some tower...Last night I was going sightseeing and /stick on a group I saw departing at crau... I wanted to move through hib mile gate at aggramon then go on my own, exploring this new piece of rvr. They yelled at me (won't tell names, u know who you are) 'we don't like to get follow' 'don't leech' blabla... I said 'just sightseeing' and my words weren't cold yet or mids jumped us. At first I didn't do much, I even /sit in front of a troll for a few and shake my head at them. Then I saw some in trouble and used heal on them. I helped as much as I could, mezz here, playing my AE End for their tanks in range, lulled their healers so they couldn't heal up and in the end I died...leeching exactly 0 rps from what I did... They got them in the end, buffed up and left towards mile gate...oh wait...they didn't rezz me...you big ego'd 1337 wanna be f*cktards! Start playing as a realm for crying out! I wish with all my heart the cluster will make ur gank groups' life so hard u will appreciate somebody helping ya out.
Oh wait, i'm just a bard...forgot that...but at least I rezz people I meet dead and they thank me for it, and no its not for the lazy 73 rp I get for it, but for team spirit in general cuz after all, we're still a realm and in the end we gotta stand and mids/albs have to die, period...
Now to other bards out there, tell ur experiences, tell how much it sucks most of the time being a bard....then maybe they know why they have to stand yelling at DL 'looking for bard' for 1/2 hours and maybe appreciate us a whee bit more.
