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

[Alcobrum]

Yeah I'll remember that next time I do twice as much damage as your crap smn

You know though, back on topic, these crap summoners can do more damage if you use FOE, so use it, it's your job.

It'd be wasted on summoners who can't play their job properly. Lol

With logic like that Disembowel is a waste on you since you clearly don't play your job properly.

Disembowel directly benefits the person actually using it.

What makes you even say that when I'm over 20% of dps in endgame raids, sometimes I wonder if people in the forums see the bigger picture, all content has been designed with no bards in the setup in mind. If you so desperately need a song that you call bards who don't sing bad, then just You're just a bad player period

I don't need disembowel to show up dps who don't know how to play their job

EDITING THIS TO INFORM YOU ALL

Daily post limit reached which Is lame, wanted to say so much, but until another controversial topic comes up, I doubt you all will see me. :P bring more to the table, I play songs and my raid all does over 400 dps on t8. Monk and drg over 450. T9 is when im 20 percent dps but that's because bard is most suited in that fight. Anyway I don't think any song is needed in 4 mans or 24 mans except foes, none of the fights are long enough to strain tp and if you die or others die and your mp ooms you need to have back up to get out those situations, I'm not perfect, but reality check, I know what bard is, and it's a dps so I'm going to focus on it more than your badly managed mp pool

Lol, links, GIFS, when all you people who have never played a bard in endgame run out of stuff to say, I can always count on some unrelated thing to come my way as a last resort



What, if I was saying I was perfect I would say I never run out of mp, but in fact I have admitted I have ran into this situation and had precautions to get out of it because I'm a decent healer, x ethers and shroud are skills I use to get out of bad situations, and since I use them I didn't run into a situation where I needed ballad

You implied that you were perfect from the start. Do you honestly think your the first person figure out how to say something without actually saying it? Stop fooling yourself. Stop looking for reasons not to use song. Sooner or later, they will be needed and it will be your job to sing the songs that are needed. Period.

Stop trolling.... please. We all know Bard is a DPS. It's listed on the box.

The point that you're not getting or perhaps refusing to get is that Bards are DPS, but they're the weakest dps out of ALL other dps classes (assuming gears of equal tier). The trade off for being the weakest is the ability to sing songs that benefit the survival and dmg output of the rest of the team PERIOD.

Without songs, I wouldn't even consider bards in most encounters simply because their dmg output is crap without the utility. Think of Bards as insurance, they suck but you pony up the money anyway in case shit happens.

LMAO!!! So you burned your post allowance tiring to convince the ARMY that is everyone else in this game why bard should NOT glance over and the mp bars and anticipate the need for Mage's ballad? That is beyond funny. The icing on the cake is you imply that you would rather die, wipe the party and lecture the healers on MP management (Ethers, SoS...whatever) than see the lack of MP and take action to save yourself and the party. You might want to brush up on the virtues of being a team player. Forget other's short comings. Work on yours. Take the hint.

Oops! Wait a minute. You said you don't like links. Ok then i'll explain what it is. It's a Youtube clip that explains what the Dunning–Kruger effect is:

"The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias manifesting in unskilled individuals suffering from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude."

Bards need to look at MP bars just like healers need to look at HP bars. It's not "right" or "wrong." It just is.
