Look through your bard action list. There's what...one DPS ability? That one DPS ability doesn't make you a DPS job anymore than White Mage's one damage ability Holy makes them a DPS job.

However, I do think that they should probably change it to something besides healing, something more supporty. Maybe some kind of 10 second buff for party, debuff for all nearby enemies?

I'd like to think that they could get "Heroism" a 10second buff (tier 3) that gives +20% damage and healing and maybe skill/spell speed.

something along those lines.

Yeah you're right. I should discount the DPS abilities from the only classes I am allowed to equip abilities from, plus the overwhelming number of DPS abilities compared to my songs. Guess BRDs should just sing songs and go afk. I'll pass it on.

Having one support buff up at a time doesn't really make a DPS class much of a "hybrid"... Unless you think Monk becomes a "support-DPS hybrid" because of Mantra or something equally ridiculous. One ability is an attack, one is a self-buff, two are party buffs, and one's an enemy debuff. Not much of a "support" hybrid. Nevermind all the Archer skills... But people have already mentioned that in abundance.
Let's not even mention that Archer is stuck with the same limit break... You know, before they become all support-like.

This really becomes a problem when you end up with 2 Bards in a duty finder group, leaving your group with no dmg Limit Break. It happened to me twice today.

I looked through my BRD action list and found exactly 100% ZERO healer abilities. But ok, whatever you say lol

BRD should have some type of group buff for their limit break such as haste, damage boost and damage reduction.

ARCHER should have a DPS limit break.

The healing limit break right now is beyond lame.

I say they should give us our lvl 50 skill from 1.0 as our LB. In 1.0, our lvl 50 2hr increased our max hp for i believe, one minute. Of course knowing SE and what they did with the tank LB only lasting a few seconds, I doubt they would make the increase last very long.

I wish they would add another ranged physical dps before bards complain so much that SE just takes away any bardlike abilities..

BUFF LIMIT BREAK!!!
