    Haste, HP regen, accuracy, defense, elemental resistances... There's a lot of potential to make bard a class that actually uses songs.

    HP regen
    Let's leave healing to the actual healers, please.
    accuracy
    Not needed because (thankfully) accuracy is not a rare stat like it was in FFXI.
    defense
    This would be horribly clunky.
    elemental resistances
    This would work better as part of a different job with mechanics to support it. Not to mention it would have to follow the model for Apocatastasis to be useful (while also sharing the same debuff).

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
