In this video I wanted to cover the bard archetype and what Intrepid's vision for what the bard is for their game. I then did some research into what other games have had good bard gameplay and how Intrepid could potentially glean ideas from these other games.
With the Intrepid team having a DND background, I think looking at the Baldur's Gate Bard makes a lot of sense. It is also a jack of all trades style class with the ability to provide massive utility to the party. Since ashes of creation is also a group based game, I would imagine bards in AOC would adopt a lot of similar functions.
