Bard

Wood Elf Bard using Crystalline Marauding Axe and Crystalline Sword of Parrying from Temple of Veeshan

Since Bard can use Ninjastrike Augs, they have a high level of single target DPS (a close second place to rogues, monks, and rangers). In addition to doing a large amount of single target DPS, they have several useful utility benefits. Their Epic is an 18 second group duration heal, they can increase the movement speed of the group, and their Tempest Blade line of songs adds a proc to every member of the group, similar to strike augments. Because of their DPS and other uses, they can be a good choice to use in your main group.
