So the "no BRD" shouts have begun, thanks Yoshi P

[Duelle]

the ABSOLUTE most logical thing

Making Bard useless in anything that is not large groups while making it unappealing to play (which means getting parties together would take infinitely longer) and making a job that does what Bard used to do is not logical.

because no one ever wanted to play Bards in ff11.

Fixed. There's a reason the term Princess Bard existed in FFXI, you know.

[Rhindas]

I remember having to go /anon almost fulltime on Bard in FFXI because of the /tell spam I got back in the day. They were virtually required in some content. *shudder* I wonder if it's still like that now...

never heard the term, sorry

A princess bard is someone who knew that BRD was an unpopular job and used their job's rarity for political leverage in linkshells because BRD was outright required for almost everything in the game. People like Rhindas took it well enough, but some did abuse the hell out of it and knew they could hold parties and alliances hostage, and did.

Red Mages also ended up doing something similar, much to my own shame.

Must have been with horrible "friends" and linkshells. I played RDM full time and would fill in as PLD when they needed a better tank. Never had any issues I usually played what i wanted, Whether it was DRK SAM or PLD i only went RDM when needed even though they needed a good RDM a lot I was always allowed to go what I pleased. But i usually went what was needed.

I laugh at anyone who says BRDs are support and not dps in 2.0. 1.23 BRDs I will admit were more support than dps and were despised and never really sought after for content.
