Remove Lancer sub class for brd is a damage nerf, no doubt. Making them use TP song, mana song more is 20% less damage during this period, witch will be longer if we are forced to use tp song more and Balance it toward needed mp songs (coil if/when needed).
The point most ppl made about bard was how they could move and still dps, i see that point, tho even this, we have low dps compared to other classes past titan in general.
Yes we have songs to help other classes, we have ranged silence, we are moblile (while low dps in coil) and there is a spot for 1 bard in coil grp due to this.

But honest guys, how low u want brd's dps to go, and do u realy think destroying / nerfing its damage will change anything? i dont think grp's will remove 1 brd in coil due to this.
I personaly am afraid SE will destroy Brd to reduce the amount of player's playing this class, to Balance it out, not to a real class Balance toward other classes. (hope im wrong)
Finaly, when another ranged class comes out, ranger/gun class or whatever, u will have trouble finding anyone to keep u toothpick fairy's, and tai chi masters whit tp song and making sure ur healer have mana to heal u, couse u still cant move out of crap.
the nerf is pointless, end of storry.
