BARD NERF [requesting more details to the devs]

[Kabooa]

Probably because it has an interrupt, and it's dps isn't that far off. And you need physical dps... it does help to have done the content before making comments like this.

Which only furthers the argument that Bards are probably going to be just fine even after a 'nerf', whatever they decide to do.

And another reply from someone who clearly doesnt know what he is talking about... why? :/
You only have ARC at 50... brd is lvl 30... why do you feel that you can comment on this issue? lol
Its not an issue of needed or not, we play to maximize everything. We will not fill the raid whit brd's if the same spot could be taken by better classes.
i personally have every class/job/profession capped at 50. every class whit atleast relic + full DL. I can choose what i want to play, yet i want to know more about this issue.
I could talk about the mechanics of the current endgame and why a nerfed Bard could be a problem, but.. come on you never played endgame.. and your BRD is lvl 30... lol

ok, next please... cant wait now xD

He has ACN at 50 not ARC and Bard needs nerf, little to no penalty for 100% uptime on boss. It's well known at this point. What is the point of this thread? Crying?

I'm of the opinion that bard will just be able to interrupt their skills with too much movement, just like casters. It makes sense the way the nerf warning was written that this may be the only result, so bards can't run around and deal all the damage when no other class can still keep that up (which leads to higher numbers because they never have to actually stop attacking)

[Lecreuset]

I know ruin II for summoners are instant so they cast that on the move(albeit more mana cost) but I don't know if their DoTs are instant because I've never played but if they were, wouldn't they have just as much mobility as a bard?

I'm asking this seriously coz I've never played summoner before

[NeonC]

Only one dot is instant, all others have a couple second cast time in which you can not use CD's either :/ I don't know why Melee and Bards can cancel attack animations into CD's yet casters can not.

[Delorean]

I think it's likely that a few cast times will be introduced. Anything else really not necessary imo.

Probably because it has an interrupt, and it's dps isn't that far off. And you need physical dps... it does help to have done the content before making comments like this. Not to mention you do have the songs available should something happen that causes healers to need some extra mp.

I admit I forgot about there silence move. However, it only furthers the point that the little DPS nerf they are planned to get will not affect the OP in anyway and thus they are over reacting and being all high and mighty.

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.

With all those BLM, you shouldn't you sing some requiem? Selfish bard is selfish, no love for the magic users dps.
