BARD NERF [requesting more details to the devs]

[Nooblet]

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?

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.

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

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.

Yoshida put heavy emphasis on little when he said a little too strong. I don't think the class might be destroyed like you are saying. Calm down a bit

[Cassandaria]

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.
