:S I dunno what you mean by difficult but whenever I go in as bard and encounter another Bard we usually wreck stuff pretty well. I in my opinion highly doubt Archer is gonna get two jobs just like Arcanist did. What I can see happening is Bard (Perhaps Summoners as well?) getting their own Limit Break which either is a different DD break or an actually LB which enables some kind of support similiar to the Bard's songs, which would be nice. Aside from that.. :S Bard with the healer LB is really useful in raids where you kinda know you're able to get 3 stacks. Tide changer right there if something goes wrong and the healers are down or majority of the raid is down. Also if anything if they were to add a version of Bard which isn't support and just DD like dragoon or something.. It would be the Musketeer class as they're range as well, only difference is they use guns.
