I'm quite sure that bards are going to become rather rare in this expansion...

No more luxury of worrying about Bards I'm afraid... Incoming complaints about Machinists not equipping their turret with MP or TP regen and leaving it on AOE dps mode for single target boss fight....

Basically whatever mode is inappropriate for the turret to be in, it will be that one, and whatever gun modification is the wrong choice, will always be the one used... It's just like the bard that starts Mage's Ballad or Army's Paeon at the beginning of every fight and when the song is actually needed, refuses to play it. :P
