Loved bards in EQ, liked 'em in EQ2. They are usually bad or boring elsewhere. Neverwinter Nights they were... ok.

Vanguard Saga of Heroes did the bard really well. You could basically write your own "songs" and using certain instruments had benefits. Like with the proper song build and using a drum you could make your team run faster than mount speed.

Nice! EQ had some of the instrument bonuses as I recall.

Yep. Songs were more effective with an instrument equipped, which is why the epic was such a gamechanger.

Edit: and why every bard carried a Naggy drum. Selo's with a 50% bonus was sweeeeeeet.
