Maybe its not that people are Bard stacking but the fact that 80% of the population are Bards. Then again, that fact is probably also a cause for alarm that something is going on with Bards. For the love of god, stop rolling Bards. I know its tempting to roll an easy mode class but at least roll BLM. Too many god damn bards.

I've been hearing complaints about Bards, SMN, and SCH being imbalanced. Its probably due to the fact that these classes have not been tested enough before release. Arcanist is a new class and Bards were originally a support DPS (an idea that I loved) but since players were complaining that they do not have their easy mode ranged DPS class, Bards were quickly and recently changed to pure DPS.
