Request for Utsusemi

[Xianghua]

Bard will not have to move for a good time whilst the first 3 mobs are being killed. I assume this will be plenty of time to regain MP. The only reason I say that long range is necessary is due to the fact of 1 member's distand seperation from the group means no links when pulling. The rudamentary mockup I gave earlier displays the necessity for a longer ranged attack.

If a BRD is of appropriate level to be pulling from a worthwhile group of EXP mobs, then absolutely death is a threat. Having 4-5 Lv50 Ixali on your little Lv40 frame is going to hurt quickly.

I'm sure that Utsusemi for Bard will give it some advantages for survival, but does Second Wind favored to PGL make it invincible? Does Life Surge mean a Lancer can never die? A bit thin for examples, but I hope you can follow what I'm trying to say.

I understand what your trying to say. But here is the thing if the party can't handle the mobs to begin with without utsu. What makes you think they will be able to handle it with its puller having utsu? Adding sleep songs /arrows just to add utsu isn't really a valid answer.

Although I never did any meriting on Bard, I do vividly remember the trip I made as BRD/NIN at the Goblin Outpost in Eastern Altepa Desert. That is where I absolutely fell in love with the job and never looked back. With a good tank, I could pull one goblin, let the tank catch it, go out for the next pull meanwhile, sleep one nearby and as it slept, pull another near it. Run back to the melee group, buff 1x, Utsusemi (pulled mob is attacking me), Sleepga (other mob has joined), Tank vokes 1 of the 2 as the first is dead, Buff with 2nd melee song, pull again with Sleep, Run to mages, Utsusemi, Buff them and repeat.

It all amounted to a never-ending supply of Goblins, rotating sleep and utsusemi to rarely be hit by an IT mob.

Bard can be a great puller and pull quickly without the need of Utsusemi. If you want brd to be a puller thats all you have to say.
