    You can't counter my argument so you counter my experience. Lovely. I haven't touched blm (well, it's 26), monk, or dragoon either but I have friends that love all 4 jobs (no diehard summoners either) and the cumulative picture is clear.

    Every job has things to balance and rotate, and I never said bard was different here. People try to say Titan is the only fight where Bard has the advantage but that isn't true. Reds (any bad aoe/landslide/plumes) can happen to anyone at any time in a lot of fights. Some, like Titan, are hypercritical. You have a more hp than your ranged friends, and have to do a lot less dodging than the melees.

    And sorry, don't overhype the difficulty of your job (or most jobs). Bard is played well by some of the dumbest people I have ever met in this game. I'm not calling bards dumb, I'm just not calling them hard. They do have good utility they can contribute, and gosh I love the ones that do, like silencing, mitigating damage, great kiting, but a lot of classes do. You can also play most classes herpyderp style.

    Now go back to my armory, or read my forum posts and say "Oh, this is coming from a pld main", yep, it's coming from a pld main. A class I love, but I wish it was more complex too.

    and this guy doesnt even have archer to 50 where do we keep getting these ppl from
    whatsamatter? people didn't agree with you the first time you posted exactly the same thing, so you had to hop on the armory troll bandwagon?

    Easy to play, but not so easy to play to it's fullest
    Oh gosh, I retract everything I said. Oh wait, I don't. Another person who can't counter my argument so chooses to attack my experience.

    Full disclosure, I thought I had played archer to 10, but must have been a last beta character. Does that get me brownie points?

    Shield Lob (Can change red text to Tomahawk and it will work perfectly Warriors)
    /macroicon "Shield Lob"
