Bards in PVP

I needed a ranged class so Im leveling Bard, Im now to lvl 43 and just now had this idea of asking any of you who play Bard in pvp do you have fun with it and do you feel like you are a viable edition to your team in both modes.

I played bard in PvP back when I actually mained the job.

It's fun, having foes and an instant MP refresher is very useful.

Popping all your damage CDs then lining up your rotation and throwing in long shot you can dish out some SERIOUS burst on someone, and you have a jump-back through repelling shot for escaping a melee, and shadowbind to CC someone.
Not to mention the ever invaluable ranged silence.

But..outside of that..it's kinda meh. Without things like raging strikes, hawks eye+barrage there's no way you'll kill anyone unless they afk or you steal someone's kill with miserys end.

Its fun, you can have some good times on it, but I get bored of it. I'm biased though because nin4life.

Thanks for the feedback, im looking forward to try it out, even if Im just setting my team mates up for the actual kill lol

You seriously become the caster killer of your 8 man, at least that's how our premade's BRD plays it.

If master bard exiras see's this he will show you the way.

Our bard always killsteals. lol Everyone else sets up kills and he Misery's Ends them all. >_>

Also more bards need to use PvP Manasong for healers. :x

HAHA ! Gee I wonder who :p

I suck really bad at PVP but I must say I always have fun sniping that annoying BLM on the other team while playing, haha.
I just wait for them to notice me attacking them, blunt shot, then by then it's time for Misery's End and then bye-bye.

As a SMN, I eat BRDs for breakfast. Bards are more annoying than dangerous.

Brian! <3

And really, freecasting BLMs equal BRDs in annoyance level.

PSA: Dear Bards, watch your WHM teammate's MP bar.

Thank You.

You can also Range slow people with Feint, sure its just 10 seconds but trust me it can fuck up healers and blms.

How to play bard: Locate your BLM class change button

I like it so far, unless 4 other Brds show up lol

My favorite thing about playing a Bard in pvp is knocking people off the top of the platform and them falling to their death( it is a bonus if it is a healer ), My favorite knock off was the one that won us the game. But on topic Bards are good in pvp. Just fight what you know you will do good against and try to always keep range on the target. As PLD I can 1v2 Bards they are super squishy as are BLM's.
