Is that they are on the upper echelon of power in classes. I saw a lot of Grysh's dwarf's log, and he would get pwned like a bastard child of a homeless retard every single time. Dispel with the dove figurine usually worked since resist mental is so low level. One sleep, and you're ####ed, since sleep lasts 12 ticks at hero range.

There are some classes out there where you need to gang. Lich, 30+ charge APs. I think Bard is up there, and given the kickassness of distort, and that they are the most qualified class to fight gangs...

etc.

I hate bards :P
