I am trying to figure out why square decided to penalize square for supporting their party, I mean first they completly strip 80% of our support ability from 1.0, turning us into a ranged dps class. But then we get songs, which 2 of the 3 are completly worthless (only worthwhile one is ballad and thats not by much for how slow it regens partys mp) But for some reason square feels the need to debuff our damage by 20% when playing one, thats pretty much the same as gimping a whm's healing ability for well healing, aka supporting their party. Think they will ever remove this? As a bard I hate having to play a song because it complelty kills my damage output. That 20% is bigger than you think. I go from hitting for like 85-90 heavy shots at my level to around 55 when playing a song, maybe 60. This alone is more than 20%, but the dmg penalty shouldn't exist at all.
