Bards experience mobs that stop attacking. This is great from a defense standpoint, but when I charm one I want it to attack.

I'm experiencing this near every pull for my young bard.

Also, what level do bards get the ability to use 2H weapons?

Checked quickly and didn't duplicate this. Any additional details? Or error console messages?

I relogged and it fixed itself. When do bards get to use 2h? Didnt they use 2H in EQ?

Negative, sir.
