Bard - they broke my job

[MercureXI]

You don't get the 100 potency nerf in light of a 10% flat increase on everything and 0 cast time on Minuet?

Come on mate, you really think Bards care about that ? It's whine party ever since 3.0 launched Now they can't go back to being happy with their job ... it's way past that

Next patch notes could be "WM doing 340% more damage, but Sidewinder is 5 less potency", they will be like "WHAT ????? WHY SE ???? what did you do to my SW damage ! why ?" lol

Why is it almost every single time I see someone making snarky comments about bards in threads like these, a quick glance to the side shows they are not a bard...how easy it is to be snarky when it is not their class with the design and implementation issues being talked about yet if shoe was on the other foot they would not be happy about people taking pot shots at their class when they have issues with their own.

Yeah! It's not like you can, you know, change classes with a button or anything

I'm sure they'll change Bards around. I don't play that job personally so I have no idea what I,m saying but Wanderer's Minuet sounds like a 180 degree playstyle shift.

In the meantime~

See, this lv60 thurmaturge has got the right idea!

Silly fake bards who like being casters now with all their MP management and rotations and GCD-length cast times and terrible mobility and super sacrificial mechanics that punish them when they screw up

yeah that sounds just like how bard is now, i sure wish square would stop 180ing my class around

its almost like i have to git gud or something, haha silly square, as if

Oh boy, I played WAR in 2.0, which is nowhere close to the state BRD is at the moment, and never whined about it once.

I was confident that SE would see that the job needed improvements, just like I knew SE would adjust WM so that its purpose and overall utilisation becomes clearer / easier to use as a stance.

And they did today.

You can still move and dps on the go.

But you won't be at max dps if you do so the whole fight ... which is fair if you look at the other dps jobs.

You just have been spoiled for more than a year, and now it's hard to get back with the other dps in the "you need skill to dps correctly" department.

But once you've mastered this new stance, I think you'll be proud and happy that you can now show some skills and deal serious damage over "random bards".
