Bard shouldn't be about the dps but the stuff they bring to the party, right now we aren't bringing shit but dps....oh the songs are soo needed in certain fights...hooray...certain fights.

Bard should be the most sought after class for bringing benefits to the group other than DPS. So we can move around and still do dps...so can everyone else, they just refuse to move and insist the healer heal through the damage.

Bard needs more actual utility, haste song for all classes to cast faster, run song to not cut off during fights and zoning, heal over time song (yes I know people argue there wont be a need for healers, Eos has said the same damn thing)
More debuff abilities to the enemy, slow their asses down, reduce their heals, things like that. Bards should be able to juggle more songs than just 1 per time (consider old eq) And most importantly, bards should not look like they raided John Travolta's wardrobe from the 70s. (bards are traveling story tellers, apparently im suppose to travel in disco clothing because that's functional.)
