just occured to me how they could execute barcher without ruining the future of bards, by adding another hidden class like sentinel but for instruments. A future bard could use the same abilities, to even better effect. barcher would then be like the conjurer with sheild skills, and a limited selection of skills.

Of course doesnt solve the problem of archers who never wanted to be support, but the excution may not be super support.

Anyhow, if you think about it an archer with group buffs, would be fairly indespensible,
