Letter to all bards about Mages Ballad

[Grailer]

No reason you can't just drop a /p Mage Ballad Please <se.7> or similar while you're waiting around eh?

Do I ask a healer to heal me when my health drops low ?

Do I ask a tank to get mob off me when I pull agro ?

Why should I have to ask for MP when the bar to the top left off screen CLEARLY shows I have no MP .

While I mostly agree. . .

The healer queued to watch health bars. The tank queued to watch what enemies attack. The BRD did not queue specifically to watch your MP. No harm in reminding them. . .

Bard isn't just DPS they are support as well , they have Mage Ballard . Using it requires to sometimes usually after the fight to look at MP bars and decide if they need to pop it .

If the tank all of a sudden stops spamming flash maybe look at the bar .. low ? pop it . simple , that's why dumb arses are DPS tho right ?

You mean the tank who has access to abilities that restore his own MP?

That actually requires 2 abilities to get MP , so around 5 seconds before another flash can be used . It wont hold agro for long , of course with WHM chipping in on DPS that wont be an issue because mobs are dead.

The main issue is when the mobs are dead how does the tank get MP back without having to stand around waiting for what seems like forever ?

Well before I posted this I was waiting around while 2 bards waited , we waited and waited and waited ... ( this is after first pull ) .. well I figured if Im going to wait around I might as well make it 15 minutes longer and quit .

I don't know man, it's pretty much a given that Tanks are there to hold aggro and healers there to cure folk.

When and how did you get the impression Bards are simply there to keep your MP topped up?

....but never mind all that and the fact you have riot blade combo to keep your own mp up for a sec

If you want something, it can't be too hard to ask, right? Most healers I know have a macro to shout out for Mage's Ballad and when it's needed in our Coil runs it's always shouted out on the mic.

It's just easier to know that someone wants something if they ask for it you know?
