I think eventually one of our necros finished it, but it was definitely not a priority.

You sir, are a gentleman. You could have readily and deservedly flamed the f*^k out of bobyab (and it would have been complete win on your part) but you chose the high road. If I could give you more +internets I would.

Since we're talking about Bards and there are a lot of Bards in here, would you have rather instruments be disallowed in combat (and possibly auto-equipped) and then had your combat effectiveness balanced accordingly?

That "trade-off" decision seemed very difficult to make, and in the case where you did decide the instrument was more powerful than the sword, it seemed to create a very boring gameplay environment. I never played a Bard, but would love to hear some people's thoughts on that issue.

Vanguard had the perfect bard class just steal that.

I remember playing my Necro alt and even after picking up the Epic, I never used the clicky. It was 9 seconds to cast rendering it pretty much useless for fear kiting, etc. I know pretty much all necros used the low level snare because it casted so damn quick and lasted just as long as the high level versions. It wasnt about the dot dmg, it was all about getting that quick snare off for fleeing mobs or kiting.

Yeah, the necro epic was probably the single least useful one of all.

I just remember the 200 page thread asking for it to be changed to right click summon bone chip.
