warden or bard in rvr?

after not having played daoc for over 1,5 year I've decided to give the game another shot
and now I'm wondering what char to use, mainly for rvr, these days

back in the old days groups were worthless without a bard but somehow I get the feeling that the bard lost a bit of his/her importance in the battlefield

so my question basicly is: which class (warden/bard) does hib/pryd need the most these days?

Iron Wolves are most short of wardens. I am not sure we are typical of the realm, though. I think decent RvR bards might be a slightly higher need.

I think there is a slightly worse shortage of BG Warden's overall, if only because Warden's need ML8 to be effective, whereas a Bard can get away without high MLs.

There is definitely a shortage of both classes though, and both are needed for a balanced group.

Best to play the class you have most fun playing though, as you are more likely to stick with it

Usually seem to be struggling to find bards.

playing warden is a thankless job and imho needs a person with a certain amount of patience, yer never gonna do huge damage nor yer never gonna do huge healing and zero cc... sorta jack of all trades but master of none so its more about having the right abilities and knowing when to use them properly in a group thats works and not just an afk bg/grapple bot as some might think

patience isn't a problem

got enough training in that from all the waiting for rezz in old rvr as a bard

well to be honest im a ml2 warden, attending every raid that is happening because i want to get to ml8.
most groups have told me i play the character well with a mix of healing and tanking, EoY for multpiple rezzing, im all templated, but when i ask for groups lately noone reply's , seems druids are the only healers wanted and no1 realises the benefits of pbt anymore. iron wolves if you want a warden for a set group (or any guild for that matter) consider the fact that almost every night of the week (except fridays and some saturdays) i am spamming LFG in ligen and looking for a regular group.

was wondering about that, the usefulness of pbt these days

got into some groups the last few days but that was probably only because of the wardenspeed

(all groups were without a bard)

Wonderful though you are Seanpaul, you can only run in one group at a time. Now if we could clone you we would solve the problem. <grins>
