BARD 2.1 change [requesting letter from the producer explanation]

[Rhained]

Are seriusly comparing what you need to beat the story and get DL gear with what you need to be competitive in Coil??? I mean even now we are below the damage of Blackmages and Monks, just think of how it will be if we lose this skills....

Hate to tell you, bard is a support class :P

They do have pretty great burst damage but yea overall dps on a long fight is generally much less.

And like yoshi says, in endgame everyone takes atleast 1 bard because of how useful they are with songs, ranged silence is also nice.
