    Bard question

    How come we have no stun? and when we use blunt arrow it hardly ever silences anything other than the lower tier mobs?
    I don't want to sing I want to deal damage and help with silencing and stunning am I missing something?

    I believe MCH have a stun. Playing the wrong class if you don't want to sing :P

    But singing is the best part about being a Bard. Who has ever heard of a bard that doesn't sing and recite poetry?

    Gonna have to agree....
    as a bard you'll have to sing a little bit. Why do you want a stun so bad? Play DRG if you want to stun.

    Well you shouldn't have picked the supportive dps. You should roll a melee.

    In 2.x, there were a TON of Bards who wouldn't sing in order to keep high dps. Only song they knew was Requiem lol...

    As a NIN, what if I didn't want to use Mudras, Goad, or Trick Attack?
    As a PLD, what if I didn't want to maintain aggro?
    As a WHM, what if I wanted to only spam Cure, and not other healing spells?

    If you're not going to sing, you might as well stay Archer (don't equip your Stone).
