Bard in the party... thoughts?

[Kelevra]

changing battle voice to be a physical vulnerabilty , shadowbind changed to heavy on targets inmune to bind .... and i wouldnt mind a buffing heavy shot a bit just a little :3

Pld was buffed because was failing behind on its role

Same happened to AST , BLM , SMN.....MCH ...lots of jobs adjustments. No sweeping changes but its true that Alexander is "harder" if u have a brd instead of MCH ....since MCH have all the CCs , stun , silence (shared cD) , Heavy / knockback (shared) and can put a debuff for casters or melees , regen tp/mp

brds have silence , and bind , regen tp /mp , and magic debuff (that can boost more with BV)

the meta is 2 tanks , 2 melees , 1 ranged , 1 caster ,2 healers so thats 5 players doing physical dmg in a 8 man....way more than half the party is physical now.

Rain of Death debuff changed from Evasion down to Piercing Resistance down or adjust Foe's Requiem so that it does affect Windbite and Flaming Arrow.

Wide Volley changed from a weapon skill to a 60 sec OGCD ability that can now spread Venomous and Windbite to nearby targets

while under Minuet
- Allow Barrage to hit 4 times (or the Sidewinder suggestion)
- River of Blood trait now increases potency of Bloodletter/Rain of Death whenever reset by Venomous or Windbite and are not on cooldown (up to 2 potency increases---potency increase has a 10-12 sec duration)
- Sidewinder, being affected by Flaming Arrow and having a possible 3rd potency increase (if target is inflicted with both Venomous and Windbite, while standing in the Bard's Flaming Arrow...potency will be increased to 350---I think that's what it was pre nerf) ---- (or the Barrage suggestion)

...those are some things I would suggest for helping with dmg

For utility, dunno...maybe give Repelling Shot the added effect of a stun or heavy?
