Will bard lose it's identity/class fantasy?

[MPNZ]

And above theme, the other thing is that I would put it as an equal to Dancer in terms of support... Except bards would benefit more casters and healers, and dancers would benefit more physical dpsers and tanks... a bard would be able to benefit the niche it isn't supposed though, but at reduced effectiveness, same for dancer.

That's cool, but it creates class-synergies, which is bad. And, TBH, It would be nice to have Foie and the crit buff re-implemented. Also, designing Mage's Ballad so that it would restore the party's MP every time bloodletter and RoD was used would be more useful in all situations in general would probably be really fulfilling to players, and go in line with BRD's identity and fantasy thing.

I really want a single target spell that would cast aoe dot that would remove windbite, require it to be active on the target, cast a new type of dot on any mob in a cure III aoe radius, and also be removable from a target if windbite was recast on it for balacing, though.

Oh, and a bow that would look like a combination of a keyboard/electric guitar when sheathed. And, something like a music based version of the spriggan hoodie and a few music themed glamours for shoes and accessories.

And a cure three AOE for minne and wardens, and have there recast timers lowered to like 12 seconds...

Even DNC kit looks a little bare, you know
