Just a quick note: that's not an "ad hominem" at all.
"Ad hominem" arguments are those where you attack the one you're arguing with instead of his opinions.

Now, I don't know squat about WoW, I could care less about its power gauges and I don't want to meddle with that particuar debate... But I'm with MrW when he says that Arioch's argumentation here

WoW druids are overpowered. Period. end of discussion.
seems to fit the D&D Bard too. And that's odd to say the least, since I've seen time and again those arguments to define the Bard a chump.
