Why Bard can't have temporary aura when play song?

[Kemonologist]

I wonder why bard still Bard don't have temporary aura when play song when MCH's turret can show effect when they switch to TP/MP regen mode. MNK and WAR have temporary aura when they get stack of Greased Lightning or Wrath/Abandon too. It is a little QoL for Bard that isn't hard to develop. What is the reason for only give aura to MCH's turret but not add it to bard's song too?

It shouldn't be anything too big, considering that it's maintainable indefinitely outside of combat. Less we get a repeat of dork side on release.

Or gaudy. Having musical notes floating around me like the Mogdelier would be stupid. I'd like something subtle, too.

Really, the lack of persistent effects for abilities/buffs in general is really weird. You would think that the healer PVP ability that grants near-invincibility would have a visual indicator outside the buff icon, for example. Same thing with Hallowed Ground.

Hey, we're already doing better than FFXI, where the bard pulled out the instrument, played a song, and stuck it back into hammerspace.

Oh wait.

Actually the instruments in XI didn't go into hammer space, they filled one of your 50-80 pocket slots and between them and all the weapons and off-hand items could take up a fair chunk of your inventory (oh god, the macros... so many macros...). XIV is the one big on 'hammerspace'.

#1 reason to get Gjallarhorn was elimination of 9 other weapons.

Then they had to go and make it more complicated with the Empyreal harp. T_T The macros for THAT got.... interesting. You'd sing the songs initially with the harp to get the 3rd song, then you'd hurry and resing them again with the relic horn to get the stat boosts. Welcome to my life in FFXI circa 2014. And if the third song dropped you had to start all over again.

Unrelated to the topic at hand but I absolutely do NOT want them to give a big bright flashy "hey idiot don't hit the healer they have Attunement up" safety helmet visual effect for Attunement in PVP. One of the best things a healer can DO in PVP is to bait a bunch of morons into whaling on them for 10 seconds with all of their offensive abilities going to waste via "MISS" after "MISS" while their team caps the undefended point.

I'd like to keep flashy candy effects as minimal as possible. Please do not add any more auras, XIV's screen is more than busy enough already.

I actually didnt know this was a thing- havnt bothered lvling mch yet, and no one in my FC (that I know of) has played much into them yet.

I would totally love this for bard!!
