Dear All Bards,

[Accolade]

This wouldn't be an issue if they would just release a 2nd archer job that focuses solely on DPS (Ranger, maybe?).

I very much hope the Machinist will be the one to fill this role. An insta-cast mobile range dps, akin to a ranger. All the brds that dont like to use all their available skills can hop on that bandwagon.
Not enough info is around yet, its hard to say if Machinist is going to be similar to smn pets, or more like totems.
