are bards fun like they were in EQ?

They do not have a super fast run speed spell, but they get a 15%-20% group run speed fairly early. I played one the first beta. Not sure if they changed since then. I remember them being fun. And i had no idea how to play the game at that time. I might role another one next beta. But I do know they can "twist" songs 8)

edit: /re run speed. I just logged him in and its 15% and you have a talent that increases all anthems by x% per point. I dont think it gets faster than 20%
