Bard qq

[fanservice]

It's a choice you respect because you don't play a Bard.

Not my only character. I have played a BRD.

I still respect the idea, even if the execution needs work.

Cast times affect a lot more on a Bard than their mobility.

I am aware of the proc issues.

They didn't give us the damage we wanted, in fact our damage is about on par with where it was prior to 3.0 (doubled damage, but all jobs were doubled some jobs more than doubled, so there really was no increase) and we have to use a crappy stance in-order to do what we were doing in 2.5.

It doesn't make any sense. People have no idea what they're talking about, the job didn't get a damage increase for the most part our damage is exactly the same, but we're forced into casting times and immobility just so we can do THE SAME DAMAGE.

Saying it again: I respect the IDEA. How it was executed down to the numbers is a different matter.

I personally have no problems with BRDs dealing MNK/DRG/BLM damage tomorrow, as long as they're not bunny-hopping around mechanics, and spamming instants from 20y+ away.
