I said "some", not "all".

Realistically though, songs were our only real support skills all through the game up to 3.0. It was when 3.0 dropped that we started getting other stuff (like Warden's, though frankly the way it worked before made it all but useless in most situations, happy they changed it to act more like an Esuna). The added damage given by WP was honestly needed a while back solely for the fact most Bards refused to play their songs because of the dps hit. And frankly even now I see non-bards telling bards not to play songs because of the dps hit, even if we're in WP and pop our cooldowns to make up for it. Bard was never meant to be a high damage class and idk why people don't realize that.

It's baffling how many people don't want Bards to play their class properly.
