and YOU could stop being a contrarian tit and comprehend that a fundamental removal of what made the job attractive to people is actually kind of obnoxious.
Tbh what was originally meant to make the job attractive to people was the support, thats bards thing, running and gunning was just a nice little bonus.
BRDs start out as Archers. i'm sure lots of people would like a Ranger type class from FFXI.
how can FFXIV have 4 ranged DPS and not a single one of them plays like RNG? how can all 4 only do maximum DPS with cast times? why does the game have no class variety?
imagine if all 3 melee DPS had to manage Grease Lighting Timers.

those things do not stack. although adding BotD to DRG and positionals to NIN does make those jobs all more similar to each other as well which is also not good.
I played bard main i beat everyone on dps in alex farming on multiple occasions. beat a1s and was 3rd in dps on my group and i think im pretty good.
but i quit bard. its no fun anymore. now im a healer.
:P..if they added Ranger just as like in FFXI, you can't move anyways as moving canceled your bow/gun/crossbow attacks..and in FFXI moving while shooting is more punishing than there as the delay is much longer...
Reason why I like this new way of playing bard. What they really screwed up on, was that they added not a single trait after level 48. I know this has been discussed already in some thread long buried. Man, did they blow this hard.. This would be a good trait to add if ever they decide to add any more..

i'm okay with not moving if i can keep weaving oGCDs like the 2.0 days. moving when you don't have to gets you or other people killed in any meaningful content anyway.:P..if they added Ranger just as like in FFXI, you can't move anyways as moving canceled your bow/gun/crossbow attacks..and in FFXI moving while shooting is more punishing than here as the delay is much longer...
