A challenge. Make Bard more Bard.

[Ingolf]

The entire problem with BRD currently is the lack of difference between it and an archer. Without the armour you wouldn't even notice a difference between the two.

BRD has 3 songs, all of which whilst being the best buffs in the game are uninspired and boring. Being able to only have one song on at a time doesn't help much either.

BRD needs new songs (a lot) and needs to be able to sing multiple songs. It's abilities need to make it more immediately identifiable as a BRD. More support oriented abilities too, Akin to pianissimo, Tenuto and Marcato.

The official description of BRD:

The word "bard" ordinarily puts folk in mind of those itinerant minstrels, fair of voice and nimble of finger, who earn their coin performing in taverns and the halls of great lords. Few know, however, that bards in fact trace their origins back to the bowmen of eld, who sang in the heat of battle to fortify the spirits of their companions.

In time, their impassioned songs came to hold sway over the hearts of men, inspiring their comrades to great feats and granting peace unto those who lay upon the precipice of death.

Notice how there's a lot more emphasis on singing than DDing? It only mentions BRDs being bowmen in passing. We definitely need more music.
