I'd like to see bards have the opportunity to be offtanks here. Their songs already give them the tools they need in order to hold aggro and dish out some damage. I think if the aug gave them either a rather large rune proc, or was similar to the cleric mitigation line of "vie" spells, something like "absorbs X% of each hit, up to a maximum amount of X damage" it would make them reasonable tanks among the other plate classes. If you couple this with a reduced timer on their discs, or maybe add a disc they could fill that role when needed!
If this is not a direction that others would like then I'd say if you are going more toward the traditional bard role it should be something that benefits the group. Things that add crit should be out the window since crit rates are already pretty high here. An aug that when clicked gives the entire group twincast that works on spells, heals, AND procs would be amazing. It would need to stack with all other sources of twincast. I could see two routes with this, either make it very short duration (like 30 sec) and make the chance very high, or make it like an hour long buff and make it like 10%.
My last idea would be along the lines of keep it simple stupid... and just make it a lure based high damage proc. I noticed on the dragons in F2 and tacvi bards get particularly bad resists even when the monster is properly debuffed, on the other hand my wizard never has issues really.

I like the idea of keeping bards as a utility class personally. But an aug that could have a clicky spell dmg % and melee % modifier I think would make bards really sought after. Just my opinion.

Is it possible to give Bards a clicky twincast song that stacks with Double the Fun, Fragment of Siam and the BP worn effect? I can only imagine the joy of having a Bard with that in my group with my Wizard.

Ok...Bards are the only class that can worship Veeshan right? Well how badass would it be to have a bard be able to call on a god damn dragon, or even a wyrm. This pet could either do ae dd nukes, or dots. Also it would be amazing if it had an Aura that buffed all the bards allies, also giving the utility aspect of the class some boost. Could be anything from increased spell/melee damage, to heroic stats, to max hps and ac, or even an aura that debuffs enemies and increases damage they take that way or decreases their damage done this way. Who doesnt want to have a dragon?

I was thinking how cool would it for bards being the king of group support and utility to have a song of Critical devastation. Which puts 10-20 charges on each group member that resets every 1 min that will guarantee 10 critical attacks/spells in a row. Once the charges are used up it activates a base damage increase until the charges reset for both physical and spell damage. I too think what Niusto said is cool. Having a long casting song summons would be nice. Kinda like the good ole days in final fantasy or Ocarina of Time. You play a forbidden song of summoning and you have that temp pet for lets say 3 mins like a panther like buff where its not over powered and has to be recast. But here is another idea. Maybe you can play that song and transform into a dragon yourself with these abilities. A way to morph into a Dragon of some sort would be pretty fun as well.

anything dragons is usually win. as far as the crit song goes, i dont know how much use that would be for the actual crit part, because as far as melee is involved my paladin already pretty much 100 percent crits with all melee swings.

Hero's Anthem - 30 sec - 1 min duration group buff with a longish cool-down, Full cure on initial cast, 50 percent over haste, 1000 atk, 2500 ac, 10,0000 max hps, 10 percent melee/spell mitigation, Attacks proc a 3000 hp rune, increase spell damage by 50 percent, 3000 hp/mana a second, Increases twincast chance by 10 percent, increases proc modifier by 25 percent, reduced fizzle chance, and finally increase Heroic Cha by 1,000 because you just became a god.
