'''Raven''' is a level 44 [[elite]] [[human]] [[rogue]] found in [[Zul'Farrak]]. Raven is {{reputation|friendly}} and assists during the Pyramid battle, but becomes {{reputation|hostile}} during the [[Sergeant Bly]] event.
:''It has been confirmed April 2nd of 2008 that this was a April Fools joke on Blizzards part.''
 
   
The '''Bard''' will be one of the first two [[hero class]]es in World of Warcraft, set to be introduced in the new expansion, ''[[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]]''. It is the second planned hero class to be introduced in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, and was announced on April 1st 2008 (April fools day).
 
   
  +
See [[Zul'Farrak NPCs]].
== Overview ==
 
Announced as the second of the [[hero class]]es for the upcoming [[Wrath of the Lich King]] expansion, the Bard will allow players to enter combat using [[:Wikipedia:Guitar Hero (video game)|Guitar Hero]]-style interface with 2-handed axes as weapons of musical might. Utilizing a new resource system known as "groove", the player will be able to perform abilities and launch a Fret Bar in order to perform riffs with a guitar-based keyboard peripheral. Performing riffs will build "groove", allowing them to unleash more powerful abilities and effects. The Bard is able to front in a number of roles as varied as his musical repertoire, and excels both as a solo performer and as part of a solid group lineup.
 
 
== Races ==
 
A complete list of playable races has yet to be confirmed, though it may be possible for all races to become a Bard, as it is possible for all races to rock out. To date, confirmed races are [[human]], [[dwarf]], [[orc]], [[tauren]], and [[blood elf]].
 
 
== Abilities ==
 
=== Metal ===
 
*[[I Am Murloc]] - A potent transformational ability.
 
*Tape Jam - An Indie debuff.
 
*Shoegazer - An Indie debuff.
 
*Epic Solo - Begins an epic solo that will enthrall up to ten enemy targets within a 20-yard radius, causing them to "rock out" and suffer 310 to 390 Rock Damage per second. The solo lasts 1 second for every 10 groove.
 
*Star Struck - A talent which likely increases the Bard's stage presence.
 
*Axe Specialization - Increases the Bard's proficiency with axes.
 
 
=== Punk Rock ===
 
*Nonconformity - Dispels fear, mind control, and similar effects.
 
*Mosh Pit - Removes all movement-impairing effects and increases movement speed by 50% for the bard's entire party. Lasts 10 seconds. Does not stack with other movement-speed-increasing effects.
 
*Shred - A punk rock talent.
 
*[[Blizzard Entertainment#Others|Rock 'N Roll Racing]] - A punk rock talent.
 
 
== Lore ==
 
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!
 
 
The time has come for the bards to claim glory for themselves. No longer will they remain shrouded in obscurity while less-talented adventurers are hailed by the masses.
