A challenge. Make Bard more Bard.

Bard is clearly not a bard in FFXIV
it's just an archer that cast a song ever 30sec, for the rest of the time you play as an archer, clearly

Yeah but that's part of the problem. Especially if we see a Ranger class, Bard needs to be more Bard-like.

Great video OP, shows what a bard in the truest sense of the world should look like.

I hope they change BRD into more of a support tbh. Support jobs are my favourite thing to play, but a lot of the time it feels like BRD's support songs take a backseat.

And it looks more like a ranger than a BRD.

I don't mind using a bow, but I'd like music to be the primary focus of the class.

Crazy people wanting a bard to have anything to do with music and morale. :P

1. As many have said Bards in fantasy settings were generally offshoots of rogues. So using a bow isn't far fatched at all.

2. Please DO NOT change the FFXIV bard into a magical girl who makes giant musical notes fall from the sky & turns enemies into shuffling penguins like the one in Aion. No. No. No.

3. Add more support and utility songs to bard as it is now. I like being able to attack as well as support, playing Bard in XI was just boring.

Bard is mostly fine as it is IMO. They just need to add more support, utility & debuff songs and an actual singing animation.
