Dark Age of Camelot class benchmarks and skill directories.
Skalds are midgard's music class. They are hybrid melee/support fighters. A skald can train midgard's weapon lines, learn to parry, and be a potent boon to his group with battlesong chants. A skald is not as durable as other tanks, but makes up for this with the fastest movements spells in the game, group buffs, instant cast direct damage spells, and even instant cast crowd control abilities. Skalds are considered indispensable by midgard RvR groups.
