Bard revamp

[Undorett]

<p>In beta I thought we were told that the bard revamp was being pushed to GU56 due to not being intuitive enough or something to that effect.  I didn't notice it in the patch notes, was it pushed back again?</p>

<p>The bard revamp was canceled not pushed back.</p>

[Undorett]

<p>I thought they said they were pushing it back, to which people asked if they could leave the raidwide spells in game in the mean time (which obviously didn't happen).</p>

Now they would have to redo Concerto, Power Twitch, and Time Warp too.</p><p>I hope it stays as is myself.</p>

I think it was scrapped close to when the expac was supposed to launch.</p>

<p>It's in the same place as the Ranger GU56 revamp. Imagination Land. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/1cfd6e2a9a2c0cf8e74b49b35e2e46c7.gif" border="0" /></p>

It would be nice if I had some idea of when this was coming and what was going to be involved or if it's been scrapped altogether.
