I like the ideas listed. There are three additional changes I would like to see:
  1. Let Bard benefit from Battle Voice. Monk benefits from Brotherhood, Dragoon benefits from Battle Litany, Red Mage benefits from Embolden, Astrologian benefits from Divination, Dancer benefits from Technical Step. It irks me to see Bard not get the same functionality of other Jobs when it comes to raidwide damage buffs.
  2. Make Nature's Minne AoE. It has the same healing buff as Mantra, it has the same duration as Mantra, and it has the same recast time as Mantra. However, Nature's Minne is single-target and Mantra is AoE. Being able to use Nature's Minne at a range of 30y does not make up for how little utility it provides in comparison, especially since Mantra is on a selfish DPS.
  3. Buff Repertoire proc rate at lower levels. This obviously isn't relevant for level 80 content, but it drove me up the wall when I was leveling Bard through Roulettes and it still drives me up the wall when I use Bard for Roulettes to get Goetia and eventually Phantasmagoria Tomestones. Having only a 20% proc rate for Repertoire feels real bad, and I don't think it goes up to 40% until we get Bite Mastery at level 64. Having our Job barely function during level synced content just isn't fun.
