It's personal damage is already dangerously close to tank damage. Giving it a raise will drop it below that. It's awful.

I mean, would that actually matter? The job is called Poet, after all, not Terminator. Bard has been the very bottom of the personal dps charts the majority of its existence until Dancer appeared lol, it’s kinda where they’re supposed to be. If it had a Raise I’m pretty sure that’d make people want it more than they do now, surely? All it brings now is not-very-good dps and some mostly passive raid buffs

I would rather they buff raising capabilities for healers than give more raising responsibility to DPS jobs. SMN, and RDM having raises is already too much.

Also why give it a bow, if that bow is not allowed to deal damage. it's the bard vs. ranger problem all over again.

I already answered about SMN and RDM but i'll do it again :
1) Raise on SMN is a remnant of when it shared skills with Scholar and, yes, it should be removed.
2) For RDM, it's in the job lore.

For people who never read the RDM lore :
After the War of Magi caused the great flood, survivor of Amdapor and Mhach decided to work together to create a Magic that would combine Black and White Magics but without using the ambient Aether. They wanted a a self-sufficient magic that was using personal Aether instead.
The purpose was to help people to rebuilt what was destroyed without agravating the instable ambient Aether situation... Thus Red Magic, after great efforts, was created
