Paladin or Bard for comfort playing?
I like those classes at the same time.
So the main factor is the possibility to make hard solo quests, and overall effect to the team game, who is better at that?

Main tanks needs to know all boss moves good enough to know where to kite or go when thing X happens on timer.
If You just want to shoot things, watch big numbers, not be forced to remember 10s of moves and give few buffs from time to time play Bard.

Both classes will do good in solo quests, Bard will complete such quests faster.

To beat hard fights solo you want paladin, since you will be able to heal yourself.

Well MSQ is made for any class to beat but some part do need you to use duty finder
MSQ dungeons trials and raids and if you are tank well tank and healers can feel abit more pressure in fights than dps i played a healer up to 74 best thing about healer/tank is fast que times

Well, basically you only need this if you wan't to do these challenges solo. In general you don't have to do it solo.

DPS can be 10-25 mins.
Tank can be instant.
Though for 24x people content tanks have worst queue time.

Also remember, while playing that DPS you cannot heal yourself other than with a potion. So it's really a choice on whether you want to be vulnerable to such a limitation or perhaps play a hybrid, like the Red Mage whom is DPS/Support Heals/Quick Raiser, instead. Not sure what the skill set will be for the Reaper class coming in EW, so I cannot speak on their capes/lims.

I really like the fact that Bard can play instruments, especially new added electorguitar
And also it looks pretty fun to play

Second Wind, Bloodbath and Life Surge. It's not much but enough to not die until the tank got revived.

Seriously? Unless you're DK you are dead trying to solo.

Whaaa? WAR and PLD are both better at soloing, because of their self-heals.

The Summoner in its elder life was a field commander, able to heal itself and the summon to agro, but sadly, the Summoner is a waste. Sure it's a good DPS, but it was originally toted as the 'Solo Class.' Sadly, that got changed quick, and now they cannot heal themselves for Sheet, and their summon is invincible, but YOU get all the agro. A terrible overtune from where we started, yes? How about YoshiP give us our original configuration. Our *real* heals and a summon whom actually takes agro again? Would be better then a ghost of a summon and a broken field commander. No?

I'm starting to wonder what classes you've actually played and how high you are for that random SMN rant together with not knowing some of the DPS skills you get at 15.
