Question to FFers about Bards

[Shannelle]

(continuation)

I don't know if the experience was lack of indication of experience of the other bard as support or he simply never considered about being very effective with his job.

Having said that though, I must admit I have forgotten a few times to pay attention to MP needs of the healer. I noticed this happens often during start of weekly coil raids. After that, I feel chastised and feel disappointed with myself for being inattentive that I pay little extra attention to MP bars the entire raid. :X


I also wish I can see the TP bar of each party member. Other than healers, I really would love to support others who are TP dependent. I feel so useless when I use Army's Paeon for my own needs that I ended up not using it at all for the past few weeks. >_<

As an upcoming bard on my own character (wasn't sure I wanted one until I played my gf's character) I realized a lot of BRDs do not know their correct rotation either. I'm not turning this into a flaming thread by any means but most of them do not understand that you can run up to an enemy and use Repel Shot, immediately into Bloodletter, which can immediately be followed by Heavy Shot, or re-upping your DOTS. You could even Repel Shot > Bloodletter > Misery's End > (and if hes still alive the next portion of your rotation to drop the foe). Those 3 skills do not affect the GCD of the rest of the skills but sadly people don't use them that way As for songs, I've seen 3 BRDs in my entire time use songs with out being asked. Having a BLM as my main I don't have MP issues or TP issues, but now I've been on a BRD I can see how incredibly useful they are.
