When 5.0 came out bard had no party support as far as songs. Due to player backlash they added the little support we currently have. I think they realize they made a huge mistake with bard and they will get a slight rework. More on their support.

My issue with bard is they have way to much to watch for. Dots, songs, soul voice gauge. It’s allot. I hope they trim it down quite a bit.

In the benchmark it seems they are making some single target actions become aoe. Sam with aoe Shoha for example. Maybe the dots will become aoe too. So guess we will have to see next month when the battle system live letter comes out.

I hope they make bard great again.
No disrespect, but you severely contradicted yourself since SB had even more to watch out for with the straight arrow buff, Foes, and Refresh compared to SHB which was a reduction. You issues with BRD is the same as SB with its tangible kit.

I do NOT think BRD needs to be trimmed down and I’m sick of hearing this so often and it worries me wtf kind of job people want it to be reduced to? spam a button? The two other ranged already do this! Dots are second nature, songs are pretty straight forward and soul has literally one skill if your struggling to understand that, learn or go play another job don’t ever ask for it to be reduced to please you


We don’t need the whole ranged role be washed because people think dots are bad, or some other stupid reason which probably is a comparative thing “DNC and MCH are easier” well they also aren’t very good and aren’t the shining star examples I want all jobs to follow nor do I want all jobs to be rejoined like some sort of bland ass singularity
