    This BARD is feeling...

    This BARD is feeling some type of way..... With the changes they have made to other classes/jobs this is kind of a spit in the face to BARDS... I play on PS4 using a controller and have problem as it sustaining my DPS at an avg amount but what was the reason they nerfed bard again? I just don't see a reason for this now if they're making other classes that was already OP even more OP... Really SE? =/

    Wait you are having problems as BARD doing DPS when moving around on a Gamepad? Do you play with your feet?
    (PvP speaking) From overpowered Bard comes VERY close after BLM.
    (Everywhere) We can move around while keeping up the same damage, we don't NEED to be at a certain position or range towards our pray. The only time we actually lose dps and need to stand still for doing it is while singing songs, and just peon and ballad give a 20% damage output down.

    as a person who plays exclusively on controller, i call BS.


    Bard is one of the easiest classes to play for me, right behind paladin. if your having trouble with your output, its your setup that is bad.

    I play bard WITHOUT MACROS, ONLY ON CONTOLLER, and I too call this BS. This guy clearly doesn't use expanded hold controls. Or has a bad rotation. And apparently doesn't repelling shot either since he's having trouble running away without losing target sight.

    WTF Again point missed.... Why did the nerf Bard? and I never said BARD was hard to play, I said its tough sustaining and avg amount of DPS on controller tbh Im probably the best BARD using a controller in any server I just want to know what why did Bard get a nerf while gradually they are adjusting other jobs..

    Again, how and when were Bards nerfed? Please clarify.
    (Just to explain basic logic and reasoning: a nerf means the class had its capabilities reduced in some fashion. Unless all other classes were buffed at the same time while Bard was left alone there is no rational way to claim that a buff to another class is a nerf to Bards.)

    Not giving it an upgrade is not a nerf. Nerfing is making it weaker, Bard is not getting weaker, it is recieving no buff, it is staying the same. That is not a nerf.

    I have, it's easy. It's all about consolidating like abilities that do not share timers onto single macros.

    For instance, try this macro

    /micon "Heavy Shot"
    /ac "Misery's End" <t>
    /ac "Bloodletter" <t>
    /ac "Heavy Shot" <t>

    When misery's end or bloodletter is up it'll shoot off those, otherwise it'll shoot off heavy shot, and you just consolidated three slots on your crossbar into one.

    It's very, very simple to play bard with a PS controller, you just have to get a little creative with macros to fit everything, or learn how to switch between crossbar sets quickly. I, honestly, cannot imagine playing any other way.
