Planning on playing a bard (lore) as I want to be a skill monkey and force multiplier.

However browsing the spell list for bards I don't really feel that the bard is a force multiplier (buff/debuff/cc etc). While there are such spells many of them seem to be concentration spells. So potentially only one such spell would be used for each fight.

So what does a bard do in a fight? I thought there would be more options for buffing/debuffing than I could see (at a quick glance mind you).
