Bard Nerfs Offically Confirmed

[Leon_Stormrage]

so the dude with only one char to lvl 50 and 0 coild done is harrassing to teh dude with 5 char to lvl 50 and ALL coil done,great come to cry here because u wont can play the bard now with only one macro

I don't use macros and I want to be more involved more in fights, maybe adding a cast time in blood letter or decreasing our damage while moving.
I only say that if any class is having less dps than a bard is not playing kite well.....
And btw having 5 classes 50 and turn 4 of coil doesn't prove anything

So none of you are going to insult the company that made this decision in the first place? What a double standard.

Why should I insult a company who tries to applease their customers
If the nerf does make those people happy who were unhappy about the damage output of the Bard than it's good. Sure for some people who play a Bard as main it's kind of a problem because now they feel a bit useless through the damage loss. It's not like it becomes totally useless
Oh and it's not a double standard please search for the correct definiton xD

It's a double standard cuz you insulted the players with less skill while not insulting the only people responsible for implementing the change: Square Enix.

It's amazing how people can be so upset over a nerf. Bard has had this coming for a while now.

You sound uninformed. Archer (and bard) have been nerfed for the last 2 years in 1.0, which still lingers to today, like all of the weapons being 5 points below all other DoW.

Depending on how nerfs are done, they can either fix the class to a perfect level, make them bad, or just destroy their usefulness altogether. I've played several MMOs where the class with the bow was nerfed to bad or uselessness. I've actually never seen a nerf on them that took them to a perfect level...meaning the odds of this being such a nerf to good levels are low, at least in my eyes.

[Payne_Wildshot]

Couldn't they simply just make it so that we don't do 100% dmg while running around?? Or would that be too much of a nerf. I could see it working, would make us have to stand around more, yet not do as much while we are evading AoE and such? Any thoughts from veteran bards?

[GiseleValkyrie]

I hope SE nerf blood for blood and invigorate for us dragoons next I mean that's to strong.

[Lecreuset]

Let's all just calm down, we don't know what they're gonna do yet. I mean what's the worse they can do? Give us a heal LB?
