Issue with double standards with Se and defining between dps and support.

[mb52139]

It is interesting that bard/MCH have lower DPS because they are a support class. But yet SE claims support classes do not exist and even then, EVERY other class has support elements in them. Therefore.. every class needs their DPS nerfed, cause they support the team.

I don't think the answer is to start nerfing the other jobs, but to start making adjustements to Bard...cuz they rly can be better w/o becoming too '2.0 op.'

Things like Foe's Requiem actually affecting Windbite and Flaming Arrow, allowing Minuet to further augment certain weaponskills/abilities (Bite durations extended to 21 or 24secs, allowing Bard to ignore dmg penalties from Ballad/Paeon when Battle Voice (reducing the recast on this would be good too) is used along with it, giving Sidewinder a third potency increase thru use of Flaming Arrow, etc.), reworking the River of Blood trait so that Rain of Death/Bloodletter would also increase in potency (only twice) when reset by either 'Bite and wasn't on cooldown (if on cooldown...the timer would just simply reset as it already does now), etc.

I was also thinking about Bards being introduced to positionals for E. Arrow (rear), Heavy Shot (rear), and Straight Shot (flank/side)...but, probably would have to do away with the Rng in Mch main combo if that were to happen tho.
