World of Warcraft: Bards Announced as New Class in WotLK

Blizzard has unveiled the Bard, a new hero class that will be introduced to World Of Warcraft with the Wrath of the Lich King. The new class will feature a range of music based abilities, and the Tauren bard will have the only prescription for a certain type of fever.
The deeds of every great hero inspire countless songs of triumph, virtue, and epic adventure. But although a hero’s glory endures in song, the creators of those songs are seldom remembered. After ages spent singing of the heroic exploits of others, the bards of Azeroth are finally stepping into the spotlight on their own terms, proving once and for all that while just about anyone can pick up a sword or cast a spell, only a true hero can vanquish evil with the power of ROCK!
Armed with a trusty axe, killer riffs, and a ton of attitude, the guitar-wielding bard is the second hero class to be introduced in the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion for World of Warcraft. The bard excels both as a solo performer and as part of a solid group lineup, able to front in a number of roles as varied as his musical repertoire. The bard’s extensive Metal skill line grants the potent transformational ability "I Am Murloc," as well as direct damage effects like "Epic Solo" that will rock foes into oblivion while powerful Indie debuffs such as "Tape Jam" and "Shoegazer" keep them in check. If things heat up, the bard’s Punk tree can support the party with a wide range of abilities, such as "Nonconformity," which dispels fear, mind control, and similar effects, or "Mosh Pit," which briefly boosts the group’s movement speed while its members stay within range.

NICE TRY GUYS BUT I'M NOT GOING TO FALL FOR IT. HA HA
I LOL'D and wonder if the boys at Blizzard have been playing Pyro on TF2 too much.
So I give them...

Most likely came from everyones response to the "I am Murloc" music video and the idea of having a thrashing bard.

Because flying a Minmatar ship is like going down a flight of stairs on an office chair while firing an Uzi.

That one was truly good. I checked out the pictures and all that stuff over at their official site, which made me laugh yet more.
I hear it has a new mount...The Steel Horse...as well as several Minion options...like Fel-roadies...and Ghostly Groupies..I can't wait to see a million races..AND ROCK THEM ALL!!...best class of all..IMO. Now if they can merge the bard and death knight ...for the first WOW multi-class...except they'd probably all look like Keith Richards.
omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg i cant wate,.......this is the best news iv heard in a long time....omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg

Thank god they're joking. This would be so stupid/popular, it'd make WoW the king for a loooooooong time. Which would suck.

A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

I LMAO'd.
Blizzard are probably masters of making quite hilarious and very detailed april fools jokes....
Each year they make something amazing and hilarious.... The funny part is sometimes those crazy april fools day jokes turn into reality in their next games for some good parody.
Panda brewmaster anyone? ;-)
The best one was however the molten core for consoles video.... i just couldn't stop laughing from that.
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
I'd resub if this wasn't a joke

Lol if only I could do an epic solo in WoW.
Bleh . . . cartoon Bards. Once again, no thank you Blizzard.
Yeah, me too. Really miss my MInstrel from DAOC days.
So would I resub. I'm even gonna try Guitar Hero now.
Here's the sad shit.....
There are the Trailer Park morons on the official forums that buy the BS every year....and the folks on this thread that have to vocalize that it is an April fools joke.
That's why I stopped playing WoW I was afraid I was going to catch the communities Stupid.
World of Warcraft; dumbest ....players...ever.
I would agree that the trollers are a bunch of idiots, for sure. As far as this page was concerned, I thought the bard thing was hilarious. Yes, we knew it, yes people were stating it here that they did... big deal... doesn't make them the dumbest people ever (or most stupid).
