Im really surprised that so far nobody complained about our new Bard items ...
It’s a good point. There are definitely items that can’t be used by everyone, but nothing as limited as the hat or the vest.
The items that give healing buffs come close, though, as they work far better for a dedicated healer than a rando throwing healing potions. While that could technically be a bard or a wizard (yuck), many of those items are medium armor, which require proficiency as of patch 8. In my mind, those items are cleric only.
