Bards cant hear their own songs or voice?

[Enyalios]

As the title suggests, when are we gonna be able to get our own buffs? Am I to believe all bards are deaf and cant hear their own songs? Or their own Battle Voice?

I do hope SE notices how totally backwards and stupid this is.....

Without taking any kind of balance into consideration - especially when eyeballing our counterparts (MCH), it would be nice. However, when has this game stood by the theme of keeping things as realistic as possible?

If my latest headgear (the head bandage) is to be believed - realistically - I'm blind. How am I hitting my targets?

Music being played when playing on your flute would be nice too... It's a little upsetting that they got rid of our old sound effects for songs and then just had us start pretending to play instruments.

Disregarding balance, I'd argue that as a bard, you're there to inspire your comrades not so much yourself. This is why I don't have a problem with bard songs not affecting the bard. Battle voice however perhaps should.

i agree, you hear your own song of course. but they are your words and your tunes. you are there to demoralize your enemies and inspire your allies. a bard that inspires themselves would just sound arrogant

*bard looks in mirror* "your the greatest, ya that's right. no one else compares. what you hear a machines complaining again? they are just mad that they can't be as cool as you." *winks with cocky smile*

And you actually have a mechanic to increase your own crit rate already.

Remember, it wasn't even there at launch of 4.0 that we could hear troubadour.

Let's be honest, through all the utility bard brings to not get your own DH buff from BV is a kick in the balls
