In an interview with Famitsu, Yoshi P explains a new role will be added, and it will be the "Hybrid" class. Maybe then they will add a new LB. People seem to forget that Bard is a support class, not a DPS, and at the moment he is only being used as a DPS. You dont get a pew pew Limit cuz you are not a true DPS class you are hybrid and that role is still in the works. I assume Red Mage and Blue Mage might also fall under these Hybrid roles and i honestly have no clue what the new Limit might be for this role.

Yoshi stated the Game was designed for encounters to have 8 blocks, were 2 types of each role should fit in. 2 Tanks, 2 healers, 2 Hybrid and 2 DPS. That it isn't the only way to do things, but that it will be the way they want it. Maybe they can add this as a limit when they add Ranger or Corsair, but for bard, I think it's limit is perfect, you know, for a support role.


As it is I see bards never singing unless you ask, never have I seen a bard use mantra. And when you tell them to sing a song to help the party they usually say "but my dmg goes down 20%" and i'm like, yeah and it helps out 87% of the party...

People need to lose the mentality that bard is a Full DPS class. The game is in the works and going through a lot of changes to accommodate the new Role, and it seems we had bard thrown into the DPS role while we get more Hybrid classes, specially since Duty Finder queues might take even longer if you are waiting for 2 Hybrids and the only one would be bard.

On a side note, the Bard Limit might be different than the healer, maybe a cool Damage Buff like the Tank one, that helps out the full party, or a super strong effect like it gives haste/regen/refresh/stats+ to all party members. Then even if they add Red Mage this limit would be like buffs it can cast just like songs for Bard.

I think you're the only one then because I recall we would enter abyssea mis and ppl would say if you want to reset your 2 hr get a certain drop here and use it for insta reset. Don't have to rely on the dice for a reset.

Brds are doing the best they can with what they have atm, but let's see how many will migrate to maining Ranger instead when and if that comes about. Also, if you want brds to play all those bloody instruments in ffxi, they do still have those servers up go enjoy that brd version. This is ffxiv, brd is different here. Also bear in mind that brds can't make everyone happy. If a battle comes down to the amount of dps being thrown out and timing is everything, a brd can either throw up a song and lose 20% of their dps unless it's foe requiem, and possibly cause a fail because the loss of dps is that critical or the party can manage their tp and mp better and let the brd contribute every bit of dps they can. Don't go raging, it's a what if scenario.
