I actually enjoyed Valor Bard in bg3, when normally I prefer Lore bards in table top. They can get good AC, can heal, provide good support spells, and combat inspiration i have found to be quite useful. Also, deal good damage with a weapon. It's perhaps not the best option, but as someone who doesn't care for the traditional tank classes (except barbarian) I like it, and intend to have Tav be one.
