I would say either Kensai or Barbarian.

However, since you asked and if you trust me on this, play a bard. Specifically a Blade. Its just something different.

If you play a bard you should ask: What do I want to be today for this quest?
a) Should I be a warrior? Go for Tenser Transformation and Offensive Spin. Probably one of the strongest warrior with the Kensai. (And he is protected by stone skin and similar.

b) Should I be a mage? Devastate your enemies with skull traps (best damage spell for a high level caster like a bard - better than a mage in THIS point). You can protect yourself with Spell Immunity -> Necromancy. And while in Defensive Spin the enemy warriors will have a hard time hitting you.

c) Should I be a rogue and earn some money? Very cheesy but you will have "infinite" resources with the steal&sell tactic

d) Shall I be an invisible fighter? Cast Mislead and then invisibility on your mislead. Then decide either to hack&slash or kill your enemies with magic.

Give it a second try. If you use the right tactic (and a bard gives you many choices) and with the right equipment it is a VERY powerful character. The fun with the blade is based on the many choices you have and playing a character that is not just straight forward.
