BARD 2.1 change [requesting letter from the producer explanation]

[meJojo]

brd is suppose to be a support job not a dps job

Yeah no. Until they split up Archer into Bard and Hunter/Ranger Bard should stay in their DPS role.

NO they should not. BRD is support use it like one instead of neglecting the party with no buffs. If you wanna face roll mobs use drg blm or mnk period. I hope they give brd the off class on cnj and thats gonna make everyone who chose brd cry. SE needs to make brd rely on its songs instead of what players use it for currently.

If thats the case then I'd like some songs that are actually needed and a wider variety... Its rare I play a song since my end game groups seem to get along fine without them. Makes me feel warm n fuzzy when one is actually required or asked for its so rare.

Thats an issue with Yoshi and his design. He needs to re-think his design. Support jobs are relevant yet he continue's to ignore this, not to mention due to the solo ability it takes away from group mechanics and helping the group.

I agree with more songs, even let brds equip an off hand to play 2 songs and drop the aoe around bard for songs. It would be easier to fix it now than later. If the game lasts and they release more ranged classes this could create a balance issue. So say they decide to bring out ranger it would be the dps class.
