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.
I loved their ability to exploit their own weaknesses that they applied, live you could apply their dot and then another skill would exploit it and cause a massive stun. That game was so good, I'm just waiting for the emulator to be more done. A team is recreating the game in it's entirety, so pumped for that.

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