Bard Nerfs Offically Confirmed

[Leiron]

the reason why there is no coil without bard is because in this game no silence = instant wipe.

Paladins and Monks can both silence.

Paladins and Monks can both silence.

Paladins can this is true, they are usually back up when the brd messes up. However, in fairness to monks, requiring a specific form really makes their silence sketchy.

It is easy to predict when they need to silence, but still it is a huge drain on their dps, which is really their strong suit.

[Lunavi]

Or give other current classes a proper off the gcd silence.

Yes, or that. I would love if Melee got it as that will help them against casters in future PvP.

[Exstal]

Release a real support class..don't bring Bard at all. Seems like a pretty sound plan.

[Lecreuset]

It'd definitely be nice if monk's silence didn't need to be comboed in. Or maybe another jump for Dragoons that's like the first skill you get which returns you back to your original position.

As far as Bards are concerned, yes they are DPS role based, otherwise they would have their own icon for groups. If SE really wanted them to be a support roll, they would have more support powers, or more buffs.

My main is a Dragoon, and yes Bards have it easy, do they deserve a nerf? No.
I'd rather see melee DPS get a buff then see Bards nerfed.

Or if they would split up the Bard role, and the Archer role. Kinda how they have Summoner/Scholar role, both based off (arcanist?). This way we still get our range DPS with no cast times, and we get our pure support role.

I love my Dragoon, but after playing an Archer to 32 so far, it is much more fun.

Are endgame fights easier for Bards? Yes because they are ranged, are they focussed in on one aspect? No. They micromanage their group. Every MMO always nerfs classes left and right, SE for once, please just do a buff to melee.

[Charas]

Can you plz explain me how a Bard could have it easy compared to a dragoon, or even a monk, while in most of the end game content we have way way more things to take care of than any other DPS?
Do others DPS really concider that keeping up their rotation, sitting on the flank, sometimes going to the back of the boss, and dodging a timable red circle on some encounters is really something hard?

Jealousy and rage of ppl who fail to kill titan won't stop to amaze me... and even there! (did it several time on my monk) it s way easier to be a melee than it is to be ranged (way less probability to be surrounded by a nasty field of plumes)

so what s the point of all that crap?

i started with a bard. got my relic bow, then switched to dragoon, now relic'd also. was telling my friend/fc member this same thing. i found doing the titan dance a joke on my dragoon compared to when i played bard having to run through multiple plumes to get to a safe spot as opposed to side stepping for a second.

...what? lol

If you're having trouble in ranged.

WHy the hell don't you just stand in melee?

The reason you have to run through multiple plumes is because your group is not doing them correctly for the ranged stack.

...

I can't believe this was an actual complaint lol
