I chose BRD for swift gameplay, if I wanted to cast I would have chosen a Mage.

If that were the case, I'd ask that the aim bar fill while you're moving. Possible slower than it would if you were standing still.

lol ive never seen an archer aiming while running around :P

[Khemorex]

Just rolling my eyes since my "AIMED" shot deals a lot less damage than my instant shots. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

maye SE should rename all the BRD skills specially for you ,

id suggest the stuff like : "does less damage" , "does more damage" , "does lots of damage " :P

The bard play style blows.

Not focus on new songs, and more options blows.

Casting blows.

and last but not least, a dps doing weaker damage because they are support dps blows. Give us more tools to support with if that is the case, since outside of raiding the songs hardly get used. (I am one of the few rare ones that uses foe).


It is simple, common sense. When bards take a dps slot, they should do good dps or, they should get tools to make the group stronger. What type of bard is he that he only has like six songs? All this talk of the power of music, it is laughable. Not having songs that help in more ways is the real joke.

Err.. what? Think you missed the point.

Why should my Machinist carefully aim her shot, when it's going to hit less?

[Split Shot]: 1.5 sec cast, deals potency of 140 attack,
[Slug Shot]: instant cast, deals potency of 180 attack,
[Clean Shot]: instant cast, deals potency of 200 attack.

Why should my Bard or Machinist carefully aim her shot, when it's going to hit less?

It doesn't. You're either ignoring or forgetting that the GCD exists. Shots under Gauss is 30% stronger.

i'm just going to leave this here and leave

"If someone else has it bad or worse, you can't complain!"

[Rekujin]

Might just retire the bard if they plan to keep this "bowmage" gameplay in... such a shame.

[Warlyx]

lol ive never seen an archer aiming while running around :P

i neever seen some1 casting fire barehanded (flamethrower for machinist!!) , or summoning ifrit :P

"If someone else has it bad or worse, you can't complain!"

I would read up on enochian

if WM worked the same way as enochian, BRD's complaints would be ALOT worse than they are now

People need to learn to relax and do what real bards do. When in doubt fallow the bard primal, learn from the example of the lord thy God of all bards, do as he does and thou shalt find enlightenment and joy everlasting~ please, look forward to it.
