What's funnier is you being told you're wrong by the fact that people who are doing Final Coil of Bahamut all have Bards. There is no exception to this.

There was exclusion to Black Mages in Second Coil. There is exclusive to Dragoons in Final Coil. There has been no exclusion of Bards. That is why they got buffed. Whereas in Binding Coil, Bard had to be nerfed because it was too good. As you've played Bard from the start, you should know this already.

I saw you edited your opening post.
- I still disagree with removing damage penalty from Army's Paeon or Mage's Ballad. Paeon is good to help multiple TP jobs, whereas Ballad helps Summoner go ape shit with Ruinra spam.
- Songs off GCD should have already happened. That's so silly that it consumes a GCD.
- I think the standing still passive should be more like a channeling thing. Much like if Black Mage had to start a Firaga cast and then get into their attack groove. I wouldn't be opposed to that.
