No. The real question, do you need to popup buffs to kill a stone ? no. I can kill prison easily without that.
Venomous Bite + a few heavy shot + bloodletter is more than enough.

bard in this game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hKSrNmCiy8
I just want guns, so I am only playing Bard till that happens. In the meantime though, Bards are bad ass! Just raise the damage of the melee classes. Make Dragoon hit even harder on burst and have Monks be able to sustain higher all around damage.
I really hate playing bard myself, just playing it until they introduce Ranger. Oh wait a BARD is basically a ranger anyway so I'll keep playing brd lol. I've never seen so many people crying over a class in a game before. Now SE will nerf them to hell and brd will suck. Every other thread is brd is to over powered or something.
Brd is the only support role in the game. We have to be like that to kite, refresh, regain, and enfeeble. Cant be a wasted slot so cant gimp our dmg. Stop crying for nerfs ask for buffs. nothing wrong with brd as is. Its not OP either. All that utility is for supporting the group and controling the battlefield. Support isnt just curing ya know.
Its true, i dont know if this class was added to attract casual players and WoW players, but its the easiest 1 button macro mash class that i have ever seen in a game, and it has 100% mobility and no cast times........just wth is SE smoking when balancing
During the heart phase I save all my cooldowns for after the Gaol, when somebody gets trapped, I pop them all knowing I'm safe, quickly help the one in the Gaol then use what I have left on Titan. It works out nicely
Outside of the Heart phase no I won't use my buffs for the Gaol. They go down quickly anyways and we didn't even use a DRG for my FC's first win
Real talk, our Relic Weapon is the weakest and we have the shittiest upgrade when it goes +1.
Also, maybe your dmg won't be so shitty if you got geared on that monk and maybe leveled DRG to 34 for Blood for Blood.
1. Several ranged dps classes...
2. Top 3 arguably (depends on the situation)
3. Top 3
4. True
5. True
6. Somewhat true, but dont forget LB for Bard is only healing/ raising. A group also often need damage LB
7. Maybe
8. Yes, because of utility
9. Can be discussed
Listen, ranged DPS will allways have an advantage over melee dps. Maybe melee dps needs a little buff, but you sound like a whiney kid just because your class is not top notch. The game is pretty balanced and there is no OP class. Nerfing a class people play will only make people upset and some may quit the game. Its better to buff the class that are falling behind, if they are.
