Bard Nerfs Offically Confirmed

[Lecreuset]

I'm not that worried about the change on bard just yet, but what I really want is a bit more utility if damage nerf is actually coming. I've been told that bards had more songs in 1.0 like increased damage on party members and speed. I also think it'd be nice if TP cost on rain of death is reduced so we'd be able to use it far more often than we can now or else we'd be TP starved(invigorate isn't enough, and I usually need my MP to sing for the healers).. I mean we were meant to be a support class, right? I wouldn't even mind if they reduced the already low 100 potency damage on rain of death to get this change, but hey, that's just me..

Honestly I was a bit disappointed when bard changed from conjurer to pugilist subclass and leaned more towards on dps but that isn't to say I don't like my bard right now

The problem with that is that you get skills from other classes that will be in the party and make your skill useless because are less effective than the skills coming for the owner class

I wouldn't mind the class going back to a "true" support; however, that would really hurt during lower levels since groups only have room for 2 DPS. I actually rolled a bard thinking it would have much more spell-weaving/debuffing/buffing going on during combat. As you said, I enjoy my class as is, but it's definitely not what I expected. I hope they really look at the class and what they see for it's future instead of doing a flat-out nerf.
