Bloodletter and Rain of Death

[SaitoHikari]

for once, there isnt really anything i think is overly bad or overpowered. only thing i would change/dont like is the swiftsong thing. seems like a waste of mp when you could be making healers/caster do more, unless you mean the battle version increases attack speed, because i dont see movement speed during battle as anything great. other thing is the wide volley change. it gives it a use, but no one would ever use it because of the shared recast with barrage.

Yeah, the Swiftsong thing was a last minute thing. It'd be mainly for full physical parties that have little need for MP/TP regen, and people complain that bards don't offer enough support for supposedly being a support class, so I decided 'eh, might as well'. Attack speed increase probably shouldn't be a thing though, or else balance compared to Machinist goes right back into the gutter.

The Wide Volley change is mainly for packs of enemies. The main benefit of using it is that it'd let you throw Windbite or Venomous Bite on multiple enemies at once, instead of having to manually throw it on them one by one. That means easy mass Rain of Death resets. Of course, it had to have shared recast with Barrage because there had to be SOME downside to using it. Then again, Wide Volley would only ever be used for mob packs, and Barrage would only ever be used for single target situations.

In fact I was actually concerned I might have overtuned things...
