bard is bad hybrid, everyone doing better than him
support/heal cleric/druid is better
ranged psysical ranger/fighter/rouge
ranged magic any magic class wizard/sorc/warlock
melee fighter/paladin/barb
bard is trash in this game
How to say "I have no idea what I'm talking about" without saying "I have no idea what I'm talking about". Dude, if you haven't realized it on your own, due to tweaks to 5e and the crazy itemization of this game literally every pure class or multiclass has god slaying potential way before mid game
