Remake the BRD/Archer

[Inochii]

I don't know if someone already suggested this, but a remake on the archer and bard would be something really good for the game, because FFXIV need more healer classes. So:

Create the new job: Ranger (DPS)
Remake the Bard job to be a Healer.

Rangers will have pets(or not o.o), a offensive archery skills and a new ranged dps limit break.

And the Bards will use harps and will have healing/buff skills with a very interesting mechanic already used on the Ninja, this mechanic is the "Song" were the bard will have this 3 musical note skills, when combined create a song skill with different support effects, but is crucial this notes can be put in line, so the bard press fast the 3 notes and press the "play" skill and the bard use the skills on the sequence, no needing to wait a recast like the ninja mantras. Giving to the BRD a great control of the situation, whiling he waits for the song, he can see the battle.

Well.. its that. .___.

I hope you enjoy.... i.i

They said they'll be adding more DPS/Healer/Tank classes 'after' their expansion. We only got a single class before it, and that's all they were gonna add (spoiler: It's do to the post main story storyline in why Rogue/Ninja was added)

At this point if they make a big change like that to the Archer/Bard class, they'd have to scrap what they have and start completely over from square one. In/some time after the expansion Bard will no longer have a healing limit break, and the only healing anything it'll ever have is Second Wind.

I don't understand why people want SE to make such big changes to a class, when it seems like only a few want them to remake a class altogether.

Yeah, I think most people would much rather just take the new healing class they're planning to make over having to relearn a whole new set of mechanics for a class that many people pick up for it's simplicity and ease of use.

Already annoyed we are getting a damage LB but this just no. You have machinist though if you want a ranged physical dps(I assume physical).
