There isn't any class confusion when it comes to Dancer. Each attack is in some way shape or form, a dance move, looks good, and gets the point across. Bard has 3, max 4 song skills that are actually used. And then 20 arcane ranger skills.

I do not believe for a second that the people who claim to be so in love with Bard as it is now make up a greater number than the two (separate) groups of people who want to play either a dedicated Archer/Ranger or a dedicated Bard. I know when I first tried this game back in 2013 I dropped Archer immediately after I discovered I would be forced to become a Bard, because at the time I had no interest in what I thought was a weird mishmash.

8 years later, the mishmash job has now lost 99% of its support functions and whenever I want to play support, my options are either Astro or Dancer. Actually wait-add Red Mage onto the list to. Because Red Mage's buff is more powerful than any of Bard's songs. Instead of a class that buffs the party with songs in almost every video game its appeared in. I do not understand why some people insist on viewing these classes in a vacuum "because they're unique!" when the reality is that some things just really are that straightforward.

An archer should use arrows and all sorts of skills of that nature. A bard should be able to sing more than 3 songs (and actually hear its own songs too).
