Yep, ranger epic has a similar part but the big difference in that one is that it has been that way since day one, but maybe the bard one has been that way since then too? Not just since we all got so overpowered
If you even look cross eyed at that ranger mob you will fail that part of your epic. So rangers have to strip nekked, take all weapons and ds off and turn around and face the wall......or was that.....no that was my ranger epic, yea!
Recently may of the newer rangers were moaning and groaning about being over powered and the mob dying to fast and they needed to adjust epics for this while not realizing it was that way since the beginning lol
Good luck!
