my deep dungeon experience

yesterday i was on a team with a archer, ninja, white mage, me as a ast. Throughout the encounter the bard kept jumping around and shooting. he could not just stand still. there were two healers, he wasnt going to die

I don't see an issue here.

Palace of the Dead seems to have that effect on bards, every one I've seen in there is running and jumping and kiting around like they just downed ten Red Bulls. It's cute except when they get unlucky and kite themselves right into a bunch of traps. :P

this bard landed on a trap once and pulled 10 mobs another time

I played bard in there, know the feel from their side...
Let them run a bit, its been months since they can actually move and attack at the same time :v
(and if they die... can't say much on that)

Even with a Pomander of Sight, I still see them run directly over traps. Not necessarily just Bards, but they do seem to be particularly over-anxious.

They're tired of playing like a caster with Wanderer's Minute so being low level again gives them an opportunity to play like a bard again.

I despise pre 60 bard. Wanderers was the best thing to happen brds well iron jaws was.

We really needed this thread...thanks. And since we're on the same server, I'll make sure to give you a big thumbs up if I see you.

when that happens you run away and let the fool die, they won't attack you since you have 0 enmity.

i play bard in there all the time lol whenever some1 has transform i go other rooms n pull few mobs to where they are so they can clear more b4 it expires

I never understood the red bull mentality of Bards where they must dance and jump around while shooting. Not like they are being targeted every 2 attacks where they have to move.

Actually, some swings do hurt. a shit ton. And some healers trying to heal in cleric stance - and i guess they don't realize they have it on still- yeah. If I'm dying, I'm popping a potion, turning off wanderer's and kiting. Don't feel offended. I just don't want to die.

I'm perfectly fine with standing still btw. Just don't forget to turn off cleric stance.

Edit post:

For further clarification and nightmares: I was in a PT with all healers once. And they did all try to heal me in cleric stance with me standing still and tanking. I died. I do not wish to die again.
Please. Understand. I only run, when my hp is not going up at halfway. lol

I see it more in healers jumping around like idiots.

Had a bad run other day on my DRK. Had bard and two healers that kept doing ranged pulls and running around. Spent more time chasing mobs than fighting.

Its probably more apparent now since most 60 bards that are doing content like this from the ground up actually miss how bard was before the tragedy that is known as Wanderer's Minuet

yeah those 2.0 bards, i let them run around all free and non bow magey, since i remember 2.0 and how upset a lot of bards were about minuet.Cant blame them, i often do 50 roullette on my BLM i miss the simplicity of the 2.0 triple flare rotation, etc.. so when i see one go crazy like that i just smile cause i know
