WHY ARE YOU PLAYING A BARD IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SING?!

[reality_check]

I care more about dealing good dps than singing.

I've noticed a lot of deleted comments. o.o
I would suggest this topic be deleted or locked, I'm sure a few have gotten
the ban hammer lol.

How is she selfish if she said she would play a song if needed lol.

Most people, including myself, play Bard because it's the range dps they enjoy most. Too many pet peeves with Summoner and Black Mage. I didn't play Bard to sing but I will if need be. But singing isn't my top priority. I care more about dealing good dps than singing. And often times I may not agree with the use of a song when I feel dps is more important.

Some bards don't sing because they prefer to play the bow class than the harp class. Can you blame them? SE should've given archer 2 jobs like they gave arcanist 2 jobs at launch.

But they didn't separate the jobs. So why refuse to do something that's an integral part of the job?

How hard is it to play your job properly and just look at the group and judge which songs benefits which situation ?

...

Just stop being lazy, have some initiative and sing when it's needed, simple as that.

can't see TP.

Shroud of Saints/Aetherflow, i don't know when you've used it or not. i play healer, just because the MP bar is low doesn't mean they need or want Ballad.

can't keep Foe up all the time, i can use Battle Voice when you pop Raging Strikes if you tell me to.

why is communicating so hard for people? who is the lazy one?

How hard is it to request a song? . . .


. . . .well, than again, just saying something like "Bok" in alliance chat seems like a big ordeal to you people so I can see how this can be a problem. . . .

About as hard as it is to ask for a provoke/overpower/flash, or a cure/esuna/leeches. Oh wait you don't have to ask for those often do you. You might, but I bet not nearly as often as your having to ask for songs.

The job is called "bard" not "radio DJ". Sing sing sing.

You people are comparing Classes/Jobs that have Support/Tanking tools as 50%-90% of their Skills vs a Class/Job that has 95% DPS skills (2 support skills 1 Supportive offense skill. . .). . .Okay. . .


It's called BRD because SE are a bunch of specials, why would you introduce a DPS class, give it 3 support skills and call it a full on Support class mid level. . .I mean Really? atleast make it 50% support skills.

It's not the "bad BRD's" fault, it's SE's Fault.
