What is a Bard?

[Kaze3434]

Look at all of the descriptions of your skills, abilities and cc skills. THAT is a bard.

Look at the color of your placeholder in a party, red. THAT is your job.

You do have the unique ability to top off mp and tp to bad groups that need it (outside of very select instances in coil). In 95% of content, proper cooldown usage and the ability to dodge avoidable damage will leave bards with nothing else to sing but foes.

I see the LB as an act of balancing classes. It increases the desirability to bring in melee classes in high movement fights and gives the party a slight chance to recoup when both healers die.

Bard has some "Oh S***" abilities, but that's only for parties that are s*** to begin with.

so parties that ask for peons or mages during t8 are "s***". glad to know that the small % of the playerbase that can make it to a fight others cant are still "s***" /sarcasm
