Your experience is entirely based on playing Nexus bard, probably the most difficult matchup for most ragers. I would love to see you put this in perspective one of these days.

Re: raiding - Bards of any cabal are very difficult to raid against. It's just that simple. Even at the outer they are a serious pain in the ass, especially village ones who can constantly back off while you're not deathblowing the outer down in seconds.

Re: command denial - Ragers also have by far the best chance to kill someone despite being lagged like that. The difference between (assuming all powers in play) two Nexuns lagging a Rager and two Ragers lagging a Nexun is usually night and day.

Re: this topic - This discussion is happening in the death thread of someone who actually had a lower group size per kill than you did on Allysia. Yet you're posting in defense of a guy who is calling out one of the better characters in recent memory for ganging with a defense/defense shifter. Again, please try to have some perspective here.
