Come on, there’s barely any evidence that music exists in Azeroth. It’s not like the Tinker idea, where we have an engineering profession and a lot of goblin/gnome lore to prove there’s a major precedent.

Bard should be a secondary profession like fishing clearly

I actually love that concept because it would be so easy to learn music from boss and world drops, and a variety of instruments to play them on without having to design a whole new class to use them.

Bards are one of my favourite class concepts. I’m not sure if WoW could ever work in support type classes that mainly contribute by improving others performance, but I’d be all for it if Bards could come in as one of those.

There should 2000% be a bard profession.
You can catch me and my BFF in Org/Stormwind playing onstage. We’d be Lute and Flute.

There’s an entire clan of Orcs called Warsong, Daughter of the Sea and Lament of the Highborne are diagetic, there’s an entire gear set called “Bard’s,” there are several Bard NPCs, there are multiple drum items that are either toys or useful items, and there are two canonical metal bands whose instruments can be used as weapons. That’s just the things I can think of off the top of my head - how does that constitute “barely any evidence of music in Azeroth?”

It’s a sarcastic thread cuz of the newest thing to come from that abortion guy. Or it is at the time I’m saying this. He’ll assumably have three more threads within the hour.

Oh. I must have missed something then.
EDIT: Whoops, just saw the other thread! Sorry for my misunderstanding.
A WoW bard would need to be vastly different from DnD or Everquest bards which I think it what a lot of people usually get hung up on assuming it would need to be a support class. It could easily be a healing and ranged dps class.
As for music in WoW, we’ve already got two bands who play live shows, lament of the highborne, musicians in a handful of taverns, multiple interactive jukeboxes, multiple guitars as weapons, and likely other things i’m currently forgetting.
As for music used as a weapon, most of WoWs magic is summoned and channeled via the use of sound and song. We use hymns, hexes, curses, power words, cries, shouts, prayers, blessings, etc, all of which are spoken words, some of which are actual songs.
If much of Azeroths magic is made manifest via words and song, that means that the power or the activation of said power lies in sound. Murmur is the elemental lord of sound so there’s even precedent in WoW lore for sound actually being a magical force right alongside nature, light, void, etc. Murmur is also stated as being able to destroy worlds with a single whisper which has earned him the mantle “destroyer of worlds”. Bards could tap into this magical force of sound and wield it to an extreme by combining both words and the music of an instrument.

If we ever get bards I’m resubbing and travelling to every major RP hotspot to spam the pandaria inn kazoo theme.

Um, excuse me but I didn’t spend all that time hunting down MP3 sound files to plug into my garrison’s jukebox for you to come in here like this and spread these filthy lies
also Blizzard should 100% add bards, but as a pure DPS class that can only play music so badly that it can physically kill enemies

If there was it would be cool if they learned the actual music in warcraft and could play it, but then you’d hear 8 bards singing different songs in Orgrimmar so idk how that will work… but I want it to.

This lovely gent with like a dozen threads made his debut with one calling everyone RPing rebels in Orgrimmar stupid.
He then insisted that because people responded poorly to that, nobody should get an opinion on abortion either. So. Yeah.

Opinions are bad, mmkay?

Well mine isn’t. Nobody else should have one though.
All I want is to express my opinion, and have you all agree or be silent. It’s not that much to ask.

i missed that in the thread
haha oh wow
EDIT: oh it was quoted in the thread but the post itself went missing
Oooh okay I remember that now! I got confused because of the post poofing, but yes, that clears it up.
This is actually a bit of a cultural mistranslation. As far as can be observed, the Orcs have no concept of music beyond yelling really loud and the coconut-like sound that occurs when they run head-first into a wall. The phenomenon of this, in Orcish, is “saon”, which got translated to “song” by the humans who came into contact with them.
The “war” part is just because they put “war” as a prefix to all their words.
Warcookies.
