why are we still having this discussion?

out of all the classes in PVP, I think it's clear that Bards have the most variation to their state inside and outside of PVP.

Are you saying that this damage reduction isn't enough? Like, max 60% for half the potential shooting ranges? SE has done their best to cripple Bards as much as possible already, thanks to the whining. Now, we even have a useless, un-unique ability [Blast Shot] skills that essentially has a useless upgrade (really whats the point of upgrading damage when it only deals 40%?)

If more people would play Paladins, Warriors or Monks, Bards would be easier to kill. The problem isn't the class at the moment, it's the mentality of people playing.

It's like in League when you have a terrible party make up and your team is whining about how they're loosing.
