Musketeer Needs a Job

[Reika]

XI can do damage via songs, and cast enfeebs etc - but these were not used because it was proven to be quite ineffective. A standard ranged DPS is a much cleaner way to implement the job into a progressive fight.

Of course you would think I meant exacly like in XI. No. Edwins attack in IV was a musical note that flew from him to the enemy and did damage, thats why I keep using him as the example of a good model for XIV's bard. A ranged attack with music would be no different than ranged attack with a bow. ARR's bow attacks are AA, Harp/whatever ranged attack would be AA. Same thing with Harp/whatever related weaponskills. The difference is Harp/whatever is more bard than bow.

For the sake of your graphical preference to a job that's already effective, you would make a lot of current BRDs happy. Build an Artemis, then you can have your harp. Again, I would rather shoot stuff to singing an enemy to death.

BRD isn't changing anyway. /end thread derail.
