Do you think bard desired a nerfing soon.

Bard DPS isn't higher than melee DPS. Bard DPS caps out sooner, stronger, in the early endgame like Titan. Once people get Relic +1 and ilvl 90 pieces, Bard DPS falls behind melee DPS. Take an equally geared Bard and an equally geared Monk/Dragoon with the same Skill in ilvl 90 gear, melee will win that DPS every time barring fight mechanics.

I have an idea. Everyone stop QQing and enjoy the game. If you are not enjoying it - try another class (its easy to do so in this game) or try another game - not suggested as this game is awesome.

I skipped reading pages 1-32, but here's my 2 cents...

Bards are fine, but it would be nice to have quality of life changes to make other classes more desirable.

My Coil group consist of 3 BRD, 2 WHM, 2 PLD, 1 DRG. Not because it is overpowered, but because that is how it just came together. When we go to Turn 4 the other day, we got our ass handed to us. Couldn't kill the first set of mobs fast enough before the Knight s and Soldiers dropped. So BRD is not overpowered, in fact when you reach end game contents, we may be less powerful than DRG. So now we have to take a break and gear up other jobs and switch out BRDs for other classes.

3xBRD/1xDRG is one of the best combinations though. Dragoons Disembowel gives each bard a 10% increase. I dont see how this setup would need changing.

You have much lower dps by not bringing a BLM/SMN? Or even better a monk? I mean really...how many are around here who have no clue what they are talking about?

2 Bard and 2 Black Mage is probably best for Turn 4.

Foe req reallly boosts Black Mage's damage.

Sure 1xBRD/3xBLM might be better but i dont see how 3xBRD/1xDRG isnt a great combo.

You need at least 1 physical and 1 magical dps for turn 4. Best setup is 2 BRD + 2 SMN/BLM.
