Black Mage's quirky cross class abilities

[elreed]

Well, a lot of discussion on bard job, one thing that everyone is forgeting is that we dont know how much the song buffs last, if they give 10min like in the begining of the game we had a few buffs that lasted that, we wouldnt have any trouble focusing on DD, but if those spells last what the speed buff last then we have a problem, im still reluctant for having thm and conj only subjobs, if only they left lancer and conjurer as subs then we could have a good damage dealer and support/buffer job.

Right now only a few classes exceed archers damage and not always, i think with this kind of setup we have with bard we wont have the best DD, but ill wait and see, in any case i like a lot the archer class and wouldnt mind being a support job, this is the first wave of jobs so i know we'll get a bad ass ranged DD in the near future.

Most likely going to have the same cast/recast/timer as Swiftsong. Thm/cnj subs are the best to subs to make bard the best support role it can be. It's main focus will be on support. When that role is complete it will DD some (like cor in xi).

I know that the role of bard is support, but i dont see what the thm adds to the mix, sanguine rite gives only defense boost for thm so theres only left the mp it gives but bard already have mp song, i think they wanted bard to be less effective, if they gave lancer as sub with conj in the mix would have been an OP job, but as i say im gonna try it first... i feel that theyre leaving Bard as they left archer in 1.19

maybe with the next lvl cap increase thm could get some nice skills. Its a shame well have to wait and see.
