Bard

PVE
In PVE, a Bard's role is to provide regeneration and heal proc buffs to the group, with some healing, and crowd control in the case of overpulls.

RVR
In RVR, a Bard's role is to provide crowd control for the group - healing when the group is in a pinch. Keeping enemy players mezzed or rooted, and interrupting the casters and support throughout the fight. When running into an enemy group, if the Bard has the jump then insta amnesia as you cast AE mez is a great way to keep the enemy in range for the mez to land. Casted mez is always the priority, but an instant can still swing a lot of fights in your realm's favour. Identify the support and casters, and try to keep them from casting by using CC spells and using instant DDs and amensia for interrupts. Bards should also take the disease and dot spells from the Magician Champion Level line to help with interrupting.
