Editing Talk:Bard

Bard: the only class that can cast while moving. 
You don't really get a feel for how powerful the bard is until Fading Memories. Level 63. Playstyle for the bard is also extremely erratic.

Levels 1-60 is completely different from the rest of your playthrough. Early on, bards can Charm from a distance. This power is taken away later on. 

Since bard's can't reliably heal mid-fight--it forces them to group--or be very very careful with their touch range charm. Having two monsters at the same time can be dangerous.


What makes bards special is their ability to drop aggro. Most classes have some ability to help them escape. Feign Death, or an alternate advancement ability. 

Bards are the king. They can spam every seconds an aggro drop(Fading Memories lv63). This means no matter what. You will always be safe(unless you can get one shot). 
It also makes you one of the best pullers(if played right, the best).


Play-style: Melee fighter, support, off tank, jack-of-trades
(cannot keep aggro, can just take a few hits).
