Love my BARD...everyone please stop trying to get it nerfed that will not do anyone any good. We are going to be needed for MP,TP recovery down the line and if you get us all nerfed there goes the later fights becasue you wanted to be the highest DPS...not smart. Think about it in terms of the party...you will end up hurting your self in the long run by getting it nerfed.
By the way our buff's rock: Internal release to increase crits, Hawk's eye increase DEX 20%, Barrage increase auto attacks to 3, Raging Strikes increase damage for a bit, Blood for Blood (keep heals on me I am doing 20% more damage) Add in a well timed DEX potion for another % gain and we are a rockin' and rollin'...don't HATE. We wreck stuff! Oh yeah all this while 2 DOT's are running...REPEAT!
