We definitely are forgotten about in the sea of other jobs, but imo compared to all the past level cap updates for Brd, this looks like to be one of our best yet (Scars Update was also really good for Brd too though). Tenuto wasn't that underwhelming (5sec recast now should really enhance it as well), and Marcato will allow us to pretty much cap Magical haste approx. 60%~ of the time now without SV. I'm not really sure why so many peeps don't care for it. >.<

Personally, I've been waiting for Horde Lullaby II for what seems like ages. Pining Nocturne should be nice if they just let it stack with Addle...

In terms of gear, we got a Cure Potency body/cape, which I'm really excited about, among other things. Strangely, I don't think any new instruments were added though... Except for 95 Daurdabla/Gjallarhorn, which are... disappointing. >.<

Lastly, new skill tiers should allow us to hit the skill cap on Scherzo. So overall, I'm pretty excited for the update.

I'd still really like for us to get a creative, brand new type of song/buff, but sadly I just don't see it happening, considering all our songs aren't exclusive effects to our job (Except for some underwhelming songs like Dark/Light Carol, some Status resist songs, etc. You know, the songs nobody should probably be using). x.x
