Buff Bard - The Invisible Nerf

[RyuDragnier]

Right, which means buff BRD songs and give them a reason to have them up for longer. You're buffing the class in its support role and effectively nerfing their damage at the same time with the damage dealt reductions on songs.

I'd prefer a useful song or two to help us sing them more. Maybe one that increases the party's attack, to help with the DPS, one to increase their defense, and one to increase cast and skill speed. Of course all 3 would have the -20% damage dealt thing on them, but hey, who'd care when you'd be able to increase the DPS power and survivability of everybody else?
