BARD NERF [requesting more details to the devs]

[Arkh]

I think this is just all you. Our Brds are always on the top end of the meters, constantly running mp/tp song when needed, and have silences. I would take a bard in every group even if they did get a slight nerf. They are just too good to have. If you are at the bottom of dps then should probably look at your rotation and see what you're doing wrong

I suggest you to take a sit whit all the other dps and try to understad why BRDs (using songs) can outperform them. BRD currently is close to the bottom of the DPS chart

Only event you'd ever need songs/silence from BRD to worth a spot is coil. Everything else, lv 50 dungeons/primal if you try to join a party as BRD they will replay with "BRD no thanks" if damage is nerfed. In fact they don't always taking BRD for Titan/AK, many AK /shout party often /shout for a melee DPS, this is before damage nerf.

And that is specifically what I don't want to see it happen. I don't want every BRD ended up having to beat titan by having 4~5 other DPS carrying him, and job change to another job to farm mythology.

If the damage nerf is huge, you'll see people find a way to beat coil without a BRD and find a solution to MP/TP/silence issue.

Now as a main BRD id like to know more details about the future nerf because as now, whit the "capped x week" contents i cant afford to spend more time and effort in a class that could be destroyed in the next patch.

How about you play the class that's the most fun playstyle for you, and not FotM

A link to my profile? what about it?

Arkh what I'm seeing here is the "Im better than everyone else attitude" that many elitest have when a Developer adjusts things to their preferred class. While I'm sure nobody on this forum cares about your multiple classes at 50. They do care about the adjustments that will be made to their classes. However they're being mature and not crying that the sky is falling as you seem to be doing. Your kind is what's wrong with the end game...if everything isn't perfect inside the deluded little self imposed reality you create...It's wrong.

Well if you have every class at 50 with relics, Im curious why you chose Bard over them?
Either way, I do wish there was a more clear response from the dev's just to know what impact it will have on the class.

I choose BRD because i always play ranged dps and we already had 3 main BLM's. For the guy talking about "endgame setups", i can tell you this. In my group we still have to find a fight where BRDs song make the difference in winning or loosing. We are currently farming turn 1 to 4 whitout using bard songs.
The funny thing is the fact that most of the reply are a direct attack to me and are from people which still have to play the current endgame.

Lets go back to the point (i never said im the best, i only replyed to the "go play another class" whit "i already have them, geared", no need to extrapolate that and make me a nerd elitist monster from the space, because im not)

BRD --> medium to lowest dps in the game --> nerf ---> we want to know what will become of the class --> 2 option after that for my FC

a) move the weekly points/allagan drop to another DD class
b) keep gearing the FC BRDs

You do see your own hypocrisies in this post right? You say BRD isn't the highest DPS AND that you are not using their Songs. Thus you are not maximizing anything and your whole argument about maximizing and minimizing is irrelevant as you yourself say you are playing it because you always play ranged DPS. But from your own mouth you said it doesn't matter what you want to play you want to maximize. How is choosing a lower ranking DPS that you do not need/use the utility of make you maximizing? So what exactly are you trying to maximize then that would be affected by the slight nerf to the BRDs DPS?

Don't bother.
