Bard Limit Break? Give me a break!

[Majidah]

Come on, you took away WHM sub skills.
You rendered songs into a something you pop when running very low on MP or TP.
Even if you equip just archer instead of bard you are UNABLE to raise people during battles using raise as cross skill.

Yet our limit break is the same as white mages? This... this makes no sense. Bard isn't really an hybrid anymore, it isn't really support. It doesn't even have cure. It has two upkeep skills, that's it.

I've come to terms with SE pushing bard towards DDing (which I strongly disagree with), but if you're going to do it that way, do it right. Don't leave it incomplete.

If you are put in a 4 man duty party with 2 bards you have no DDing Limit Break. You're basically gimping the whole party with this.

Please address this.

Archer -> Bard is a joke. what's the connection between these 2 jobs?

I always hate it since Ragnarok Online but at least I have a choice to become a Hunter in that game.

so SE needs to make Hunter/Ranger as a branched job for archer class, ASAP. why they made Bard before Ranger anyway? I have no clue.

Rank 3 LB is a full rez. With Bard survival/kiting/evasiveness it's been clutch on more than a few fights.

Bard as is, should have been ditched for something like Sniper.

The limit break is one of the biggest gripes I have with Bard. I love the job (despite being a little disappointed with it not being the full support role it established since the beginning), but it really does feel like an oversight with the healing LB. There's pretty much nothing about Bard in ARR that would give you the impression that it'd be a heal lol.

Wish the limit break was a full party buff of some sort. Like a super-song that didn't nerf their damage.

A DD AOE would be great IMO. SE is probably just too lazy to make them a LB of their own considering they can't really wield a sword.

The bard limit is so useless in hard mode and endgame. everyone end up dying when they get stunned by the limit. The limit also stuns the user much longer so you yourself are garunteeed to die.

They both use strings

The irony of this is that the BRD questline tells you that the origin of the job came from some archer striking his bowstring like some retarded harp.
