    I truly hope they buff BRD...

    ...for 5.1 in Frontlines, I really truly do. We have no defense, no self heal, we can’t run away, we can't jump away (not further than other melee classes can jump toward us and slaughter us), our damage is pitiful, we're too dependent on loading a target with dots and then having to attack that same target to charge our skills (meaning we don’t really get to cause the target runs away to the back). We're mostly just dead-meat on the battle field.

    Right now, it feels like bard needs an entire team standing in front of it to stay alive. It has no resilience in the battle at all. We're more like support damage as opposed to any kind of primary damage. The only party support skill we have is Peleton, which can help the group run-down an enemy or attempt to help the group run away (although, every ninja, samurai, paladin, warrior, monk, dragoon, dancer and gunbreaker can easily close the distance with jump and dash skills).

    Bards were nerfed long ago and with good reason. We were fairly overpowered back then. However, since then, almost every other class has long caught up while bard languished (or saw further nerfs). It would be nice to see a big boost to bards to put them more equitable to the current state of other classes in PvP.
