Now that Bard has been butchered to uselessness, I need some convincing of why I should continue to subscribe to this game.

I played Bard because I wanted to play a ranged dps. I had a 75 RNG on FFXI and it was a blast.

I don\\'t mind playing a somewhat support role but the songs don\\'t stack and there are a total of four songs, and they are mostly useless for the majority of the game.

I have invested a lot of time and tomes into my Bard and now I feel like its pointless to go forward. I do not want to play any other class save for Samurai (which I was also 75 on FFXI).

SE, please give me some reason to not jump ship and play TES: Online when it launches next year. Some info on Ranger, Samurai, or giving Archer some differentiating powers would be convincing. Something...

I would even be fine going into a full support role if they gave bards some debuff songs, attack and defense buff songs, and let us stack two or three at a time.
