Lol, Con should have been Con and THM should have been THM

And Blm, Rdm, Whm should NOT have been locked to weapons/classes.

Makes a lot more sense than my crazy idea.

Would probably be a simple animation to have the character just fold the bow down when they initiate a music buff or debuff, and then it just snaps back out when the casting is done.

Maybe the "harps" will be able to be equipped in the offhand or something, and it will just modify your existing bow so that it has a harp attached to it. Or maybe there would be an entirely new type of bow all together which is required to play music on a Bard.

At least it's not a gunharp.

Don't give them ideas.

I hope this means I won't have a retarded whm headpiece in this game.

The bow seems more of a recurve or compound bow. If it was a bard, why the hell would he attach a harp to a bow? It would defeat the purpose of both the bow and the instrument.

To be able to quickly swap between playing the harp and attacking with the bow? Otherwise he'd have to put his bow away, pull out the harp, play the music, put the harp away, and pull out the bow.

Or he could just snap the harp down, play it, and snap it back up.

I think it's safe to assume Archer will be Bard. After all, there was a Dev post stating that Bard was in fact a confirmed job. I don't really see any other class that could host Bard as a job.

I'm seriously loving these designs. I do hope we get more details soon, especially in regards to that strange bow.

i like everything i see except the bow harp, it srly looks silly.
