Notice C5 only gives us more int, so assuming we arent max int we only get more mana out of it. Notice bards were made to be the first pulling class, and remain the best pulling class that has a mana pool. Notice, if your Time capable guild (if you aren't flagged for atleast elementals there is no reason for your opinion on who it should go to within a guild, because you wont be seeing this item for atleast another 6 months. Not to be rude but its true) then almost all of your casters who have been members for atleast 5 months (depending on how your guild does loot) should ALL have FT 15 and atleast 6k mana pool. Notice, the ratio is almost 3 fold on how many casters get items with FT (specifically priests / and true int casters) while the hybrids - ie bards, pally's, rangers, BL, and SK have minimul items with FT on them. Notice, after the lull nerfs without a good - great mana pool it is very difficult for a bard with 305 charisma to pull Elementals / Hard Adventure(s) for more than 90 - 120 minutes.
You aren't getting this unless you're in a guild capable of Time.
Guilds do not typically have as many bards as they do other classes.
If your guild doesn't give an item with a useful bard mod on it to their 3-6 bards first, you need to find a new guild with smarter leaders. --- With C5 I'm short 400 mana for a 6th fade. I think they made this for me *chuckle*
Its not just a bard item, its a great item for about any class. Got this item last night. Server first and the 400 mana is an extra cheal which helps. Sure I definately sympathize with bards seeing that one is originally my main. It is just so good for many classes that you cant say it should be bard only. This item may give you that extra fade you might need, or that extra CHeal I need to get off on the MT during a raid.
while every class will indeed benefit of this item, they all (but bard) can get far better ranges from same or higher PoTime tier. Guildmates not letting this item to bards first would be... sad

Ummm.. I hate to break this to you man.. but like half of the stuff that drops in Time has some type of bard modifier on it. Point being just cause something has a bard modifier on it, doesn't make that an automatic bard item.
umm your smoking crack. like 6 items in time have instrument modifiers. I beleive maybe 10 none quest armor items in the game have instrument modifiers and a bard needs 1 of each instrument type to disgard epic. So yes i belive bards would have a very good chance at recieving this item first run.
I would not choose to give this item to a bard automatically. Granted it has some modifiers that would benefit a bard very much, but there are plenty of other classes that would benefit from this item as well, like : Warrior Paladin Cleric Shadowknight Wizard
Need I go on?? The stats on this item alone make it bloody amazing and the 400 added mana pool is enough to make me drool.
