Bards, Checking In!

[Darian]

Since bard is linked to PGL now has anyone checked to see if we are still linked to the healing limit break?

So excited I never pla FFXI or XIV and had a lot of fun in the beta. I for one cannot wait to get my Bard uniform

FFXIV is similar to other MMOs now where you have dps, healers, and tanks. There's no "support" role really. Bard is classified as dps, and has what are essentially party/raid buffs that are a part of it's role in a group. If you have the choice of doing dps or doing buffs, the answer is that you should be doing both.

Please, for the love of god, don't queue for a group as bard and then proceed to just sit there singing songs while doing nothing else simply because that's how it was in FFXI, or how you envision a bard to be.

I'm a bit bummed out that Archer/Conjurer is no longer an option, but at least the bard support songs haven't been nerfed at all.

Planned Bard here...

That's all I got...

So why does bard still have a healing limit break -_-?

[ExiaQuanta]

I Planned on playing Bard from the beginning of Phase 3. When I heard that it was more a support role and would lose some of its DPS i was a bit reluctant on making one because I wasnt that much of a Support Class player. But Since ARCH/BRD was the only ranged physical class I decided to go with it. Now if what everyone has been saying is true, and its more of a DPS role thanks to PUG than im all for it. While it does take away some of the support skills it get from CNJ but atleast we can still support with Songs. I mean isnt that pretty much why people want a bard in their party in a long Raid?

Welp looking foward to it, Still trying to find a good DPS Rotation.

Since songs are draining on mp I understand why replacing cnj can make sense. I'm taking this to mean that bards will not NEED those abilities in the future and can rely solely on their singing to fulfill their supportive role. DoT songs, sleep songs, or regen songs, there are many possibilities.
