Buff Bards or Riot

[Lemuria]

I have yet to meet a bard that can out DPS my BLM, even pre-nerfs when the class was said to be "the highest DPS output class".

Give solutions. You people will never get this class "fixed" by making rant threads. They see these, laugh at all of you, and ignore them.

So, first you prove my point by saying what I said back to me, then you flat out ignore previous posts in this thread which have done exactly that -- offer suggestions.

The main argument here is that the damage BONUS simply doesn't cover it. It needs to be significantly higher than it is to counter the loss of mobility and auto-attacks. Even a bonus of 30% would go a long way to counteracting the balancing issues, which was already suggested had you been paying attention.

So yes, these threads tend to be a bit of a rant but a rant with good reason. None of the other classes have had such a drastic change in their gameplay post-50, so it's only expected that people are going to be a little disgruntled. Especially given the damage doesn't even cover the costs.
