Ok my bard is now also fully templated. I've spec'd him 33 Nurt (top run speed for Molv), 29 Music (insta single mezz and aoe mezz) and 17 regrow (for improved rezz) which should be good for RvR. Now I just need to learn to play him, so if you don't mind a few tragic runs where we die a lot we can see how it goes. I can't be worse than some of the bards I've seen .... or can I

Hero is still my main focus though, prefer to run him whenever possible, but if there's no other speeders about it's better to hop on bard rather than plod around and get farmed a lot. Animist is fun too, but more situational when there's a push on CK or a keep defense, not really a roaming toon.
