BARD 2.1 change [requesting letter from the producer explanation]

[Pellegri]

I agree with this. I think the whole mobility thing is the "niche" or mechanic of an archer/bard and they should let us keep that. If they are going to modify the cross class skills, they could just change it back to ARC/CON. But then I foresee a problem where there may be many bards who do not have CON leveled so that possibly may not be a practical solution unfortunately.

Removing lancer and giving us conjurer however causes another problem. You know what titan/turn 2/4/5 would be like without invigorate? Having to sit there for 20secs of gimped dps so we can regain our own tp just sounds amazing when we could either be contributing more dmg to the fight or using a more beneficial song that affects more than just us. If they were to remove lancer they would have to then rebalance our tp gain so it would make up for the loss of invigorate, something I highly doubt they would put the thought into and just keep us gimped without invig or a tp regen buff.

You speak truth, I forgot about Invigorate which I use religiously in every long battle... I was thinking more like swap PGL with CON but like I said that would be too impractical.

Bard would lose (From Pugilist):

• Internal Release
• Mantra
• Second Wind
• Featherfoot
• Haymaker (lol)

Bard would gain (from Conjurer):

• Cure
• Stoneskin
• Aero (??)
• ???

Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to start if they wanted to cross class Conjurer again. The skills are spread out between so many different jobs.
