It's funny the ARC starts off as an easy playable character but once you pick up your job it totally changes gears and all of a sudden you find yourself being trolled because people resent that job as being relatively easy when in truth that couldn't be more further from the truth. You have a unique array of tools and range which unfortunately can not be mastered with sub par skills to do ballads, aoe, bait mobs, silence etc... Rewarding if you can master a Bards mechanics but if you want less demands and clear instructions then don't look pass DRG and Monk pure dps in its most potent form.
