RIP Bard

[AkashiXI]

Well no, this will sort out the good bards with the bad.
Bad bards will obviously go in a different job
Good Bards will know what to combine with this song (I.E, if it actually gives an buff, Raging Strikes/Hawk's Eye).

Also, was it actually said we cannot auto attack? Cause I believe that's not true.

Either they're wrong or we can't auto attack while running. No auto attacks would make Barrage a useless ability, in the literal sense.

Edit: Hm, if he says that then that worries me. Barrage is best used with blood for Blood and Hawk's eye, so "Putting all your abilities on and going nuts" is definitely out of the question.

We can't auto-attack with the new song active, it didn't mention anything about not being able to auto-attack while running.

If you look again at the new job abilities video, you'll notice that the BRD uses Barrage while still under the effects of the new song stance. I'm going to take a guess and say that Barrage can be consumed to buff the new attack skill that she used afterwards.

That is extremely weird, but if Barrage actually does something akin to modifying all of your skills while under the new song so that each attack hits 3 times then yeah, the song will be broken as hell.
