Bard have a healing songs?

[Jetstream_Fox]

I think it's used in the Bard quest line by the NPC so that the game can rationalize a bard healing you. The buff is called Voice of Valor in the level 50 bard quest.

I recall a skill called, just furthers the idea that if they coded it to be used by NPCs of the same class it should be implemented into the actual skill set.

Well, BRD did have a healing song in 1.2x but it probably wouldn't fit with the current game design as is.

How would it not? If you ask me Warden's Paean doesn't really fit with the Bard skills, speaking on the fact I have not seen any other Bard use it, sub WP for a heal song and we'd have 4 good support songs and 1 dps buff song.

Because either the fights are tuned to require it, or are tuned to not require it.

If B: it's useless and should never be used, and your healers should learn to play.

Why? So they can have one more song to NOT use? Seriously, the amount of Bards that don't use their songs at all is sad.

I agree with giving Bards more things that surround the 'Bard' identity.

Why not let Bards choose between increased DPS with restricted movement/utility, or increased utility and movement without the boost in DPS (they don't need a nerf since their DPS is already terrible). Like.. give Bards the ability to cast a song on the ground (small timed AoE) and use a song on themselves. It's even canon.. look at what the Bard does in the pre-2.0 Meteor video.

Really? id say it's about 50/50 there are very very good bards out there and and bad as well but lets not act like most are so horrible. Or why not just pick on every class since iv seen horrible tanks horrible healers and so forth

Honestly, I would much rather a rework to the Song system in general.
Currently, TP songs are switched on when people are gasping for TP, this only happens in a VERY long fight or when AoE is used frequently.
The MP song is only used when Healers are gasping for MP.
Foes Req is a set'n'forget dps Boost for Casters explicitly, outside of maybe Raiton and BRD DoTs.

I feel like we should be switching our Songs on and off frequently throughout fights, using them all at different times. But right now all we do is Foes Req at the start and then Ballad towards the end when Healers start struggling, with nothing between because we have to wait for in-combat natural regen on a low MP pool to do any more singing. That's not really all that interesting.

If I recall Edward had a really good healing song in the DS version of FF4
