    Was the cleaner English response in the Letter from the Producer Q&A Thread.
    It could also mean they are going to make Bards worry about mechanics and not necessarily nerf the damage. It'd be nice if they actually detailed how exactly they're going to change bards cause that line alone no matter cleanly translated or roughly translated is really vague.

    So what.

    So bards are getting a little nerf. Who cares? It's probably not going to break the game anyway. Can bitch about it all you want, but until they put out what exactly is getting changed there's no reason to get pissy about it. And those people that are unsubbing just cause their class is getting nerfed, really? Can't just deal with it and move on?

    It's because people swear by Bard just because of how it is now. I have several people in my FC that hate all other DPS jobs and only play Bard for the most part, and yes they're pissed.

    Frankly, I used to main Bard, I play Dragoon as my main now (because I wanted a challange with my DPSing), and while I'm not incredibly happy about the nerf, I saw it coming a mile away

    They might not even change DMG, just mechanics. Really no point in speculation, we'll just have to wait and see.

    So, did they officially say what specific nerfs they are doing to the damage output or is it just going to affect damage as a whole? We already get the 20% dps reduction from playing songs...

    Well the paragraph right before did mention that certain cross-class skills are making some classes more powerful, so perhaps they're aiming at that. I could see them making Internal Release a melee-only buff (monks, dragoons, warriors only) and calling it a day there. It'd bring Bards down a notch without totally ripping them apart.

    Buuuut this is Square-Enix, and man when they nerfed Ranger in FFXI, they gimped the hell out of them for years. So who knows?

    Maybe this nerf will get rid of garbage bards...

    I had bard @ 50 from 1.x... I didn't level up bard so I can have it easy. It is my main job because I love archer/ranger/bard. I really don't care about the nerf, I will still play bard. I hope this nerf will discourage some of the garbage bards to level something else.

    To be honest, bards don't have it easy... bards can really make tank and mages easier to work with their TP and MP not to mention added bonus of DPS.

    I have seen too many bards who cannot function... mostly with relic too.

    Hate to break it to you, but ranged vs melee balance in this game is way too close.

    In an mmo designed as such, if your melee is not doing 10-15% more dps on dummies than your ranged, you have a serious problem.

    Bards, in fact all classes parse VERY close in dps currently.

    So basically you are sad that your class is equal in dps, provides great buffs and has huge mobility AND now you are getting a nerf.

    Zone back into reality please...

    No, on dummy parses bards are pretty much last place.
