Suggestion Identity for Phy Range Jobs

Yeah, I mostly agree except I feel like for BRD its songs have become paradoxically too important right now in terms of damage contribution, and rotation mechanics, especially in terms of death recovery, and to a certain extent, solo play -- like BRD barely a playable job with out having a song running. I think BRD needs more damage that is independent of its songs as well as continuing to improve song usability.

What I mean by BRD focusing on songs is how we can have a system for songs to be performed..

DNC must press standard dance then have to see the RNG buttons shine.

I want BRD to press different tunes to perform song(similar to ninjitsu system).. each 60s have mini game song to empower current buff even more.

I want DNC and BRD to have more rDPS than nDPS

Oh I see. It would be cool if the game could handle simultaneous inputs so we could play chords both in performance mode, and in combat.

This sounds a lot like the EQ1 bard. You have different songs that pulse for 3 seconds (damage, stun, dot, heal, root, etc.). Changing instruments gave you different effects (such as drum would increase your run speed). There were certain instruments that would allow you to weave up to 4 different songs (Lyre of the Bard IIRC) where you could freeze a target in place, and all they could do is just stand there watching their HP dwindle to nothing. The trick was you had to constantly press your buttons. If you missed a beat your song would end prematurely, and your rotation disrupted. They didn't use bows (that was the ranger class), only instruments.

Would be kind of cool to have a class like that.

It's actually a pretty common design overall, expecially in older MMORPGs and RPGs.

For another example that is ~same, see DAoC Albion Paladin. For a design clearly inspired by this albeit mechanically distinct, see GW2 Revenant Herald-spec.
