maybe u didn't read....

"Agreed... Our SCH runs Selene also so it is a must to keep our Melee DPS and Tanks TP up..."

Selene out : Speed is up, TP goes faster, you have to have a TP song.

[DoctorPepper]

No. Absolutely not. Turn 8 is the only fight in the game where you absolutely have to be singing ballad or paeon. Ballad is usually used when a healer dies or can't manage their MP well. Outside of Turn 8, good healers almost never need ballad.

Clearly your scholar doesn't use Selene.. otherwise you'd find Paeon a little more useful. I can't force you to realize that songs are your purpose so if you want to pretend you're a dps and not a support job then have at er.

Bard is probably one of the most balanced classes right now. Enough DPS for a ranged character who also provides MASSIVE FREAKING AID to the entire party when it's needed. Seriously. Literally every spell caster + healers in the party are always stoked when a Bard shows up.

I've played with Bards on PS3/4 and they can maintain at least 300-350 DPS no problem.

[LunarEmerald]

Nah. Range dps is simply better.

Bards got nerfed early on while most others have received buffs. I think that's the OP's argument.

Have you ever played BARD on a controller?

I have, it's easy. It's all about consolidating like abilities that do not share timers onto single macros.

For instance, try this macro

/micon "Heavy Shot"
/ac "Misery's End" <t>
/ac "Bloodletter" <t>
/ac "Heavy Shot" <t>

When misery's end or bloodletter is up it'll shoot off those, otherwise it'll shoot off heavy shot, and you just consolidated three slots on your crossbar into one.

It's very, very simple to play bard with a PS controller, you just have to get a little creative with macros to fit everything, or learn how to switch between crossbar sets quickly. I, honestly, cannot imagine playing any other way.

WTF Again point missed.... Why did the nerf Bard? and I never said BARD was hard to play, I said its tough sustaining and avg amount of DPS on controller tbh Im probably the best BARD using a controller in any server I just want to know what why did Bard get a nerf while gradually they are adjusting other jobs..

Not giving it an upgrade is not a nerf. Nerfing is making it weaker, Bard is not getting weaker, it is recieving no buff, it is staying the same. That is not a nerf.

I play BRD on console and have zero problems.

Must be just you , OP.

You're probably just kidding though right? Controller is 100% viable on any class.

I haven't seen it yet... Controller has its weakness just as Mouse/keyboard has there... I don't believe that BARD or BLM is best for a controller... A controller user on melee DPS or SMN can overpower anyone mouse/keyboard users but I have yet to see a controller user on BARD or BLM out play a mouse/keyboard user..

[KingAhmoseTheFirst]

Ahmooooose :O why are you so weird, both in game and on forums . You don't ever have to lose auto attacks on legacy controls, just lock on the target and strife (viable for every turn except 7 kiting). Everything else has been said over and over again. Also, I'm better than you at controller bard you know it to be true.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!! We can take this to FRONTLINES my friends...
