Bard Nerfs Offically Confirmed

[GhibliTheSW]

I remember when I put Edward into my party, he uses a harp as a weapon and shoots music nodes at foes, dealing mediocre damage. I said to myself never put any Bards into my party when playing any FF. Then I play FF14... and still hate Bards and their attitude.

I was actually pretty shocked at the crazy amount of utility mnk has. Is it all convenient to use? No.. but that doesn't take away all the utility they have.

The 3? Endgame bosses don't specifically need these, but whose to say future content won't.

Any news on the issue?
I really cant wait to read a reply from a dev. When is the next developer letter?

IMO PVP is the exact reason they're nerfing bards. Bards are the by far the most mobile DPS. Unchecked, they'd wreck pvp.

I didn't participate in the beta pvp, but from the vids, it wasn't bards wrecking pvp. They got wrecked.

Beta is beta, but didn't the level cap at 30, also gear wasn't ilvl 90

Which puts them even further behind since they scale worse than any other class.

Crowd Control wrecked PvP in every single video i watched. The type of dps didn't matter.

-Make it so that only one song can be played at a time meaning that if there are 2 BRDs in a raid and one of them uses lets say mages ballad and the other one casts TP song, the TP song will overwrite the ballad.

-Take away blood for blood

-BUFF overall damage (this way we would lose some of the burst damage we can get by stacking the damage % buffs but we would be doing higher damage over time which wouldn't make any bard complain about the nerf)
