I am the only BRD who misses support more than DPS?

Bard is a lovely support job, they will fix warden so hopefully it'll be a nice mitigation utility.

The whole support vs dps brd isn't going to stop because many of us just wanted to be pure physical dps, while many wanted to be mostly support. A job split for us would be nice so that those of us who don't want to support don't have to. The choices now are caster, melee, tp/mp battery; I just feel like it's really rigid and I'd like to be able to choose not to be a battery since I don't raid and it isn't needed in most of the content.
