The Bard Hero class was announced on April 1st 2008 (April fools day).
Bard
Obviously an April fools joke, released on 1st April 2008 as the 'new' Hero class. It has a very Guitar Hero [1] type style. It would use a 2h axe like guitar, and have many rock/musical based abilities, such as 'Tape Jam' and 'Shoegazer'. One of their talent trees is 'Metal', which includes Starstruck, Epic Solo & Axe Specialization. Another is 'Punk Rock', which has things like Shred, Mosh Pit & Rock 'n Roll Racing.
