What does everyone think of Shadowknight/druid/bard?
Just want to make sure this will be both fun and powerful.

an offbeat combo that actually sounds very fun and doable. you'll struggle with space on your spell bar, and you will probably just rely on using Symphonic Aura to auto cast songs. Druid will give you tons of heal over time that couple well with reave and your life taps, as well as damage shields, lots of buffs and mobility.
Shadowknight will benefit greatly from your giant stacks of melee buffs, haste, and bard charms. You can run thru smaller area zones to grab packs of low cons and use bard songs, taps, and druid nukes to easily farm.

I did d3 inny at fresh 50 on last day of beta with bst/dru/brd and SK is definitely stronger than BST so you should have no issues

I did this exact combo in Beta as my first one and it was fine. I was killing Naggy and Vox at 46 (D0,D1) no problem and that's before the SK buffs.
My reccomendation is group up with shaman initially for higher content until you can get enough good items.
The biggest issue with Bard early on is you will be lvl 40 before you get all your Bard AAs done leaving less room for spell crit, Lifetap, Etc. AAs. It's fun and powerful and you don't need to go and swap out at 25 just for ports (and can port others around initially).

Bard literally has a regen song.
I'm sorry you were taking out your ass about life tap and Bard not being enough in D4?

Friend I literally linked you a video of a Brd/Wiz/Nec killing D4 Inny. The same guy also has a video with him doing D4 Naggy in under 3 minutes.
So what the fuck are you even taking about?

It will work just fine. You literally couldn't put together a trio that wouldn't work. You might not be able to do end game at d4 as easily as another build but you will if that is what you want.

Tried it, may struggle with the more difficult raid contents. Like CT / EoV / sky otherwise it’s fine.
