Bam you just proved my point. I guess I'll just tank without Defiance or Shield Oath and be like "brah, my dps brah.." while everyone in the group is "/fc dude this tank doesn't know how to do his job and is only interested in dps. What a jerk!"

Yes, we'll drop the DPS by 20% constantly in a 4 man run because the other DPS has enough power to pick up our slack and keep the run progressing fast. *rolls eyes* In a 8-man dungeon, yes, that song should be going because you have 3 other DPS which can easily pick up the slack. But when there's just 1 other DPS, it's not worth the risk unless the WHM is running low on MP.

Judging by your class btw, it appears you're venting because you're a WAR who uses Flash. So here's my question...if you're complaining this much, are you also using Overpower, and tabbing between targets to single-target enmity boost each one in between Flashes? If you're not keeping the aggro up and you're complaining about lack of MP, it's most likely you being overly dependent on Flash.

Since ur about 9y old il try let u in on a little Secret, if u play whit random ppl u will find bad players no matter what class.
If u try find decent ppl to play whit ur post will just become as usless as u are i asume.

Anyway, there is about 2% content that need Brd's songs, and that is to ppl that dont know what the hell they are doing, and yes, still talking to (about) u!!
Take some candy and go outside and share it whit the other kids, ur cute, but let the adults do the talking little one!

This is the funniest reply to a thread I've ever seen. You should know that there is NO good bard that thinks they do GREAT dmg. We all know our DPS sucks in comparison to other DPS classes. Bards are there for their utility and support when needed. NOTE NEEDED, so not the start of a fight. As a bard, I always pay attention to the MP of the party members especially the healers and TP is called only when needed as we can't even see the TP bars. Furthermore, if healers can't heal, tanks die, party wipes. So, stop thinking you're all that. Play a Bard and get 100 commendations. Otherwise, just zip it.

Wow. Aren't you fun at parties. Are all Warriors from Excalibur THIS hostile and ignorant like you? Sheesh.

If you can be a better Bard than what you claim that we Bards do, then why don't you go ahead and become one yourself?
