Rokenn:
With Everquest there was a "HUGE HUGE" bug for a long time with bard songs.
Say player A goes to fetch a mob to kill for the group. Due to song playing Mob would attack "the Bard" right off the bat and bard's dont have much in the way of defense/hp's in EQ so often died especially when stuff would pound you 3-4times for 100-120dmg a hit.
The did lower the aggro to fix the bug on songs awhile back but tis still bugged and this still happens often with the bard getting wasted 5seconds into the fight from aggro
There was a saying at one stage for a bard.
"If you dont die *atleast* 10 times a day, you arent really a bard"
