4.0 Mage's Ballad ability naming

I created a thread in general discussion that has brought up some unexpected feedback that is causing friction for some players.
"Mage's Ballad" no longer feels "mage-like" in the sense that it used to. Many folks are getting confused as to why it's called Mage's Ballad now since its gone through such a dramatic change and no longer really deals with mage aspects specifically. Even with the added effect from Troubador it still doesnt seem "magey" in a sense.
For the sake of clarity and to avoid confusion with newer players, can we please see this ability renamed before Stormblood launches?

Yes, it does seem quite odd that they would link these buffs to Mage's Ballad (which invokes impressions of magic related stuff like MP regen / resistance / magic damage buffs) and not Wanderer's Minuet (which was the 'DPS' song in HW)... and yeah, kinda hoping they change this, as it's a bit of a mind f*** trying to relate 'mage' to HP and procs.

The name is tide to Bard lore.

Mage's Ballad:
A battlesong that celebrates the courageous deeds of a Padjal of eld.
The lyrics sing of the sage's exceptional healing arts as he braved the front line to tend to wounded soldiers
(source: Encyclopadia eorzea)

also the new bard skill Troubadour (the flute) Increases parry's max hp by 15% when used while Mage's Ballad is up.
so It still has a Healer-ish vibe to it.

Troubadour's Mage and Wanderer Effects need to switch and it'd be fine.

I agree with that.

Lorestone base it fine

So with all the changes im guessing gonna be alot of stance switching with bards? Gonna take me forever to remember what gives what buffs

Remember that we still don't know how the final build looks, I agree the names no longer make sense but they might still change.
