To reiterate - it's still a "hope to have in" thing. It's currently looking promising, but it's by no means a guarantee.
Tough to see how you can release a "quaternity" themed game with only one class as an option for the "Control" Archetype. Need at least two more options for those of us that enjoy the Control role. Obviously the Bard will fit that role, and it seems very easy to fit the Necromancer in that role as well, but it would be a mistake to release prior to getting THREE distinct optinos available in the game for the Control role. Plus, I'm pretty sure the entire community is fine delaying the game a little longer to get the Bard and Necro in the game prior to launch. Nobody wants to see a bazillion Enchanters as the only option to fill an integral role.

Ya I am so sure Im going to be a Bard but after reading the skills, Ranger skills will have me rolling a Ranger alt for sure. I love the creative skills on all 3 classes, some things I have never seen done in a MMO so that has me even more excited for Pantheon. Cant wait to see what you do with Bard skills =-)
