We will be seeing the Bard very soon ;) Just not during this month's Dev Update! There are some interesting thoughts on Bards in other MMORPGs here, though. I'd love to see more examples of Bards you all liked and didn't like in MMOs you've played, and more importantly, why that is! 👀

The team is looking for more feedback on the tree and its contents, so thank you for your contribution! Keep up the awesome work!

Not going to be a popular opinion, but maybe respawning should not be allowed during a siege or war battleground?

Certainly an interesting conversation starter for this topic! :) What is it about your suggestion that you like, or feel would be good for the game systems?
