Treason and Plot+hive area.

I don't know if it is a brd thing or what, but My god that area sucks with how much hp the mobs have. I kill two, move next group by the time I kill two more the other group aggro.

I don't know is it because I am a brd, or is it the area...but I had to just run passed them all. Could not even fight my way through like i do in most things. That is some bad game design.

Why not just run past them? Unless it's a quest, no reason to needlessly kill them. You seriously mean to tell me you've killed everything in your path in this game for no good reason?

You are right though. Bard is, in fact, on the lower end of DPS right now, but I just shrugged and broke out my battle chocobo, who now has over 10K HP and hits like a truck.

So its bad game design that you cant faceroll thru a camp full of enemies?

We had that in 2.0 and i would NEVER want to trade that back.

Correct, I had no risk of dying, and it was just super long and tedious fights. I rather have a risk of dying but kill things quicker than no risk of dying and kill things at a tedious pace. This is not tough, just annoying. So yes it is bad game design.

You are partially correct and also as someone stated Bards are on the low end of the DPS spectrum. Bards by nature in this game are not a true DPS class but more a support class so I can sorta see your point about mobs having slow deaths but again its not true DPS.

Huh? How is it not a true dps class? 0_0? That makes no sense,

It's not that, it's that something went horribly wrong with bard past 50 and SE is looking into tweaks to improve it. WM actually lowers your DPS against single targets, and our bows are weaker than all the other DPS classes for no good reason.
