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

[LunarEmerald]

How hard is it to glance at MP while you're doing your *gasp* 6 button rotation. Or think "hmmm there's a lot of AoE damage going on here,or he's been raising a lot, I'll cast ballad to help the heals out!" Instead of "I'll keep dpsing so we can kill It faster!"

Keep track of your enmity, keep track of your surroundings, keep track of the boss attack order, keep track of what % the boss is at to know when a phase is about to change, keep track of your dots to make sure they don't fall off, keep track of your cds to make sure you're never wasting them, keep track of your straight shot and bloodletter procs, keep track of your HP to healing wind, keep track of your TP and invigorate uses so you don't become TP starved.

It's a lot to keep track of. I don't always have time to check the healers MP. In difficult fights, I'm too busy avoiding attacks and trying to stay alive to worry about how much MP the healers have. I fully believe it's a healer's responsibility to let us know when they need ballad. It is then our responsibility to play ballad when they desperately need it.
