I cant find this anywhere, and its been something Ive been curious about. What is the reasoning to have bards not be able to move while using any kind of spell/click, and not just spells?
I always liked that feature on live and at a loss for what imbalance it would cause. From a story and lore stance, bards are musicans on the run.

Hi Zaela,
I'll touch base on those first points you had. My question was directed towards a generalization and not a 'lets compare this to live' game. I was personally curious because I thought that aspect was fun, and set them apart from being the only class able to do that. Since I cannot really speak for other bards, I feel like they(clickies) are important to every class, bards included.
To answer that choice of two unpleasant alternatives, I would have to say no on the attacking. First because this post was not intended to give bards more power, I think with recent times they are great. The main reason I say no towards attacking while doing this would be directly related towards what Shimone mentioned earlier. While channeling a spell I dont think they would be able to focus enough to attack, and still pull off a spell (which bards are not the best at).
You have a valid point regarding moving attacking, and spell casting all being very noteworthy bard activities; however, given that they lack being great spell casters and are a little bit awesome at everything, more concentration would be required to utilize these items with spells beyond thier reach. Thus having them attack, move, and use a clicky, would have been dampened down towards just moving and focusing on the inscribed spell (clicky).
