Morbol Menace a bit unfair for Bards

Your analogy is a bit off. That's when you don't know the fight and get caught off guard

In my situation, I know the fight entirely but bards are just screwed over.

I guess once you realize that the breath can be interrupted, the OP was caught off guard and unprepared for the fight---

Perfect Analogy.

Can someone confirm with 100% certainty that you can silence morbol menance's bad breath? Because I tried it on a regular one and it didn't work.

Well, silence works.

Used PLD's spirits within against bad breath. Took the time to test it out in a duo party.

But seriously, get backup. Even if you know every map fight and geared to the teeth there is still one way to get screwed over. It's called 90k (or lag spikes).

Scholar: leech bind.
White Mage: esuna bind.
Paladin: stun when he tries to bad breath or use tempered will to break the bind.
Warrior: stun when he tries to bad breath.
Monk: stun when he tries to bad breath.
Summoner: physick spam to stay alive or have titan egi handle it.
Black Mage: physick spam to stay alive.
Dragoon: stun or elusive jump to break the bind.
Bard: can silence bad breath.

Fixed that for you. Now what was the point in this thread again?

This is why I'm sch. Lol. Choco, eos, and me. My Choco kicks ass while I healer tank it, and rouse keeps eos safe from most the bad breath so she can heal me while I work on debuffing myself and Choco kills.


But yeah. It can't be hard as a bard. Just common sen.... Ok... So it may be hard for a few people as bard...

Have you done it yourself? Because unless the bad breaths between the normal one and the map one are different, you can't. Blunt arrow did not stop its cast.

I don't understand why all jobs should be equally powerful at everything.

I'd rather have many specialized jobs and the need to swap between them (which is kind of the point of the amroury system, not being locked to a job).

Everything is monotone in the job system because of this mentality.

"I failed a simple fight because I came unprepared. It's unbalanced, please nerf"

I swear, the things you have to read in the forums make me weep for the player base.

One way or another most of these are designed to be done with 2 players or more; it's obviously very intentional...in an mmo. Go figure.

Complain, complain, complain. It's an MMO, these things are not designed with the intention of soloing content. If you know every other class/job can solo them, then play one of them. It's not unfair, you're just doing it wrong.
