Because melee dps now have Ninja to goad them and no longer need paeon, bards should be using foe's. And if a bard needs to ballad for one smn it is a bigger dps loss. In old content the enrage times were smaller making sustaining dps much easier, the longer the fight smn has no way to get mp back at a manageable rate without harming their own dps.
