WHY ARE YOU PLAYING A BARD IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SING?!

[reality_check]

Me healing in 4 man high-level roulette with two bards. Doubling both bard's DPS with Holy to get us through trash faster.

Doesn't get Requiem or Ballad.

Me healing 8 man trial roulette. Bard sits in plumes 5 times. I raise Bard 5 times. Other healer off the edge.

Doesn't get Ballad from any of the three bards in the party.

This thread makes me smile

My personal favourite is the bard I got in ST. 4 black mages 1 bard as dps. Guess what the bard never does. I didn't really say anything because I am chill like that in pugs but that level of bad play is just waiting for judgment day.

Running out of MP is a rarity to me now and doesn't happen unless I had to raise more than two or three times. But yeah, when that happens and my SoS & potions are on CD and bards don't sing I just want to weep

Curious; When you saw that the bards weren't playing songs, did you request that they play it?

I think my favorite one is:

First two pulls, me(brd), drg, whm, war. I play paeon because that's what you usually do on trash with tp-intensive jobs. WHM throws in a couple Holies near the middle.

So third pull, I decide, "OK, I'm going to req for this WHM because he wants to holy." So I Requiem when I see the WHM move in closer. Doesn't Holy. Pop Requiem for the boss, no Aeros or Stones

\`-`)/ Whatever, can't win with healers.

It is a safe assumption that the people born on god's green earth are given the blessing of two (2) functioning eyeballs that can look at the party list, and the miracle of the human mind that can make decisions based on observation independently.

You shouldn't have to tell them to sing though o_O. That's like having to tell a White Mage to use Medica lol

[joshsecret]

noticed this alot lately.
(BRD x 2) + BLM + SMN = 0 Songs !?!?!?

My favorite is an incompetent healer who needs a ballad because they don't know how to manage their mp even though no one died.

Or watching a Blm just stand there for x number of seconds because they did their rotation wrong and ran out of mp.

Also lol drg....no explanation needed

Don't forget monks who lose their stacks for the stupidest reasons

Or summoners who can't DoT properly

Also tanks who can't tank.

Tl;dr bad players are everywhere. People make mistakes.
