Bards, pvp fail?

<p>Seems like we don't have much of a spot these days. We don't hit as hard as other scouts and can't keep our enemies away. Seems like we are a dying class.</p><p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Bards are fine right now. Of course there are stronger classes out there but the classes that are stronger have ALWAYS been stronger. They just need to fix crowd control (longer durations, etc) and we'd start seeing some more utility being used in group fights over pure button mashing burst damage.</p>

<p>I love a good bard in any group pvp/e.</p>
