non-casters are the best, but if you cant even find those, try to find the non priest class...and even if you do, make sure they get killed first (by making them your pet) all i can say is avoid them at all costs and make sure they are the first to die should they get in your swarm

This is a really old post but just wanted to say my piece. I think the best bard is one who solos and groups. End of discussion. AND swarm kiting is monotonous and VERY easy. Most of the time my head is turned toward the TV half the time. Once you learn there is nothing exciting or nerve-wracking about it except if you throw in a caster/summoner mob, which I have done purposely to see what I could do.
