Yeah, right, “fire and ice” isn’t a fucking spell. Plus they have an area effect sleep spell?? WTF? Not only is ranking easier for battle, it’s easier than most cabals have now! Wow, now you can have your cake and eat it too with healing spell…er songs and songs that make you hard do hit, AND the defender skills that most bards have.

With resist all they do now is just flee, sing sleep, and loot away. These guys will NEVER loose their wanted flags, not because all arbies are idiots, but because their class is overpowered.
