Bard nerf is garbage

DNC is not meant to be played at far range in PVP. It’s meant to be played in melee/mid-range AND it’s toolkit (weaponskills/abilities/LB) supports it.

Yeh I haven't really played much of DNC in there tbh. On the odd occasion I have seen some really good Dancers in there and I wonder how they get the high numbers and watch in awe lol!

Here are some free tips that’ll make your dmg output astronomically better if you decide to use DNC. *In regards to CC

1. Closed Position with your tank or melee. My usual dance partner priority is a good player that I recognize > melee carry or tank > healer that is good at pushing crystal. I do it in this order because that’s the order of who is probably going to be fighting at or near the crystal, letting me capitalize on my DNC toolkit while also fighting near objective. I almost never dance partner with a ranged dps unless they are a good player.

2. Never be the first to go in because you are still squishy without buffs.

3. Make sure that you use fan dance before you go in for honing dance (after fan dance - go in for honing dance). This gives you a total of -35% damage taken. Increasing your survivability at melee range.

There are definitely waaaay more caveats, more weaponskills/abilities involved and situational aspects but in general, you’ll notice that you’ll be harder to kill and deal more damage.
