I don't really post much but from what I'm seeing here and on reddit, the Bard community is split. Half of us want to be pure DPS and the other half wants to lean more towards support. To be honest, I've always hated the hybrid idea, and so I lean more towards the dps side. I think Yoshi-P and company need to do what they are avoiding and implement specialization, as to give players much more freedom and utility. I've been maining bard for a year now, and this is honestly the most dissatisfied I've been with it. I like my gun and run style, and I accepted my lower dps and songs in exchange for the style I actually enjoy.
