As usual: I like all that was showed, am still distressed to see or hear about no changes to things that IMO need serious improvement (controls, reactions).
A surface look at bard - I do appreciate a lot of the detail. I am pretty sure I won’t be able to resist making a violin bard once 1.0 dropped. I love spell castings through the instrument. The spell/skill submenus in the UI made me most happy - am looking forward to trying the UI once I can at the end of July and seeing if any other issues were addressed. Swarm AI should make some people happy, looks like a cool feature.
