Bard still uber?

reillan

In beta, I played a bard, and absolutely loved the ability to spam an attack that gave a minor heal to everyone in the party. The bard was by far my favorite character I made, largely because of that...

It felt like it was a pretty major heal. Even though it was minor per person, it could keep the entire group topped off when people were taking AoE damage. Even better - it kept me near the top in scores during open world rift battles, ensuring I got some decent loot.

I'm thinking about coming back to the game, at least until SWTOR comes out. Is the Bard still as good?

They were re-balanced (nerfed) about a month after release... so they're not as good. They're still useful as utility buffing/backup healing though.

They are very usefull for throwing back up heals, especially in WF's.. They are also useful in instances; but they take up the role of support now (as it should be) instead of being frontlines like i was with my bard during beta.

A great support character for sure, but I have to multi it with sab to have fun (spaming cascade gets pretty boring, i like having the option of healing when needed and AoEing with shrapnel charges)
