I am for, and against truth be told... more against, then for actually.

I played XI BRD (what you want) for 5+ years, and well let's face it having all songs 1-75 made NO difference as long as you had Refresh, Attack, Accuracy, Haste buffs and Slow, Sleep... i had ~62 different songs available and I was only needed to play 6. What was the point of the rest of the song's you never use? Or only used under super special and unique conditions? I payed ~100k for song's i played 1 time in 5 years (after learning it) and then never again. No thanks. As well having 20 different instrument's, and debuff song's which didn't like to stick even when combined with gorilla glue.

Would much rather have a Rift bard (what we have now) were the job can do DPS and have it's song's (only what's needed) for support. And stream lined with none of that dead weight that XI bard had. The more stream lined the better.. instrument wise "voice" is plenty.
