Idea: Split Archer into Bard and Ranger

[RiceisNice]

Ranger will have all archers skills not bards, do you really think that 10 jobs skill can't change how you play a class? About traits, yoshi-p in an interview said that at some point will introduce a skill tree system

Actually, yes I do. Unless it completely changes your role, you're still doing to be using the same archer skills to dps and it will not deviate far from how bard plays. The two classes will never compete for a dps slot with each other because BRD/MCH are considered the "support-dps" in group comp and are the only two classes who can do such. 10 skills will not change how a class plays, only add onto it. The exception is that if it changes your role entirely in the case of SCH/SMN, if only because they give you abilities that is suited for that role (SCH gets mostly healing abilities to help do their job)

I stopped to read here. I could use "git gud", "learn 2 play", "go to smn op" but i'll try to post something relevant.

WM brings more dps. i prefer lose my mobility and earn 30% damage than move like a headless chicken or my ass is on fire.

Bard now is useful in good hands and a disaster in "smashing button" players. Our cast time is 1'40 and 1'50. It's unusual any aoe i can't cast and avoid after the execution. If i can't cast i will have bloodletter, sidewinder, flaming arrow, any oGCD to buff me or last resort, "feint".

I will rant if "feint" has castime.

You said you stopped reading, indirectly tell people to get good, tried to post something relevant, and post something completely irrelevant to the discussion (talking bout how good WM is instead of the idea of getting a 2nd branching job for archer)....
