Gath Ponders on BRD

[Jynx]

I have a hard time "Talking bard" when you jam your E-persona into your post... but I'll attempt to indulge.

Personally as battle stands, having a bard use songs positionally will be difficult at best considering the breakneck speed of fights, the lack of normal "Pulling" mechanics, and the constant movement of party members for optimal WS effects.

Hell if anything some of these issues are going to be compounded by the "Combo" system. It will be interesting how the system works, how many "Songs" can be active at once, the recast and duration of the songs will also be key as well.

Gath feels initially the same way, but, Gath should have specified it being a longer fight, as in like an NM or something of the sorts. It would be effective to use songs for faster kills if you can play while running to keep up with the group.

I don't think it will fall short of being fun to play, just the question of the mechanics on how it plays will determine if it is fun, or useful to the least.

Gath's 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.
