Direction of Bard?

I can. I am unclear why you cannot. Our AoE on buffs has a limited range. Take ifrit battle for example. Generally you have healers on either side of the tank, the melee directly behind ifrit, and the ranged casters a distance behind ifrit. One can move over towards one healer cast BoM head over to the other and cast BoM. Now you have both healers rebuffed. Head back and cast BoM on the THMs/BLMs. In my last battle we had 2 PGLs who asked me to notify before I cast it, and they would step bak and get the buff themselves. Next, you step forward and buff the melee buff on the tank/melee. Keep a rotation of that nature and do what damage you can in the downtime. They love me for it. Its how a play my bard. Some may play differently, but I focus on support with damage as a secondary. I expect my support alows for the others to do enough additional damage to far out weigh and damage I may not do.

So yes, you can keep morethen one buff up. You simply cannot keep more then one up on the same player at one time.

You... are a little slow, aren't you? She was saying you can't put more than 1 buff on 1 person.. and you go off on some random tangent that has nothing to do with what she said... and then wonder why she called you out on it.... just wow.

@Bustercucumbers - I hope we can start putting more than 1 buff on each individual once we get real "instruments" it's the way it was in XI, if you didn't have an actual instrument you could only put 1 song on said player, but the second you got an instrument, each player could receive 2 buffs from 1 bard. d('.'

i'd think it's fairly safe to say it's not going to happen any time soon given that we only have like 3 songs to choose from.

if instruments do anything i would assume they simply increase potency or duration of active songs. 10% more mp from ballad when sung with an instrument or 30 seconds longer duration or something to that effect.

You are a little slow aren't you? She was saying I said something I didn't. I know you can't put more then one buff on a person. She implied I said that when I did not. Turn about is fair play. I went further to explain it in detail hoe I use the limited range of buff AoE to buff seperatly in a fight (I specifically used my most recent ifrit battle)
