Angry Bards

[Malevicton]

They are getting hate for their class, being kicked from parties, and generally being looked down on.

Problem is, bards are the ones hating on the class; it's not coming from the other classes. Other classes really don't care. We aren't invested in the topic. And they're only getting kicked if they refuse to acknowledge that hw happened.

The main issue with brds right now is other brds.

You can add former BRDs to the list. Both MCH and BRDs fill the same niche in party compostion, I was going to level both jobs anyway, but I jumped ship entirely when WM was a damage loss until level 60, and I didn't bother leveling it until sometime after alexander came out.

Also I still don't really see this bard shortage. I see bards everywhere. Is it a lack of good raid bards? Is that the problem?
Because there is a difference between bard and good bard.

Just go and take a look at few LFG threads posted by bards. Statics out there circling those bards like sharks lol

All other classes are looking for groups too. Every single static I know ingame has a BRD in their set-up, and they do well with that. So I tend to agree with AskaRay, there is no real shortage of BRDs (I also get them in my roulettes everyday), I guess what went down was only the number of people who are good at playing BRD because they were able to accustom their playstyle.

I see smns and blms mainly as far dps go in pvp.
I hear absolutely non-brd players say on ls "man all these filthy mechs in my alex savage mercs, we need brds lol".
I see a bunch of pfs lookin for progression bards, like it was hip shit
(or suddenly lacked for some strange reason. This reason cannot be that many ppl played bard, it received MAJOR gameSTYLE changes, and many of those many brds abandoned them so there aren't all that many left)
Sure it's all personal perception, interpretation etc pp. We all just #dont care and #dealwithit, no problem to be adressed. And if there is one, it's THOSE horribad bards. NOT us, not me, not you, not the class, not hefty direction changes. It must be THEM. How dare they
