ARC should not be a Bard

[Secret_Reeve]

take those stupid nerfs offa archer and restore thier DD capability and we have a winner with bard.

the fact they have an ability to gradually restore mp to party members makes them ideal for long fights when conjurers are under alot of presure to keep hp's up.

this MIGHT JUST bring back archer as a useful class again, thank god.

Archer > Bard > Clown

Archer also has a Bard like abilities and songs in White Knight Chronicles I & II

It's simply retard... it is true that bards in other rpg often are bow 'n arrow users... but you can't deny that in ffxiv archer is just an heavy dps, it doesn't suit any other role. Archer is not a tank, not an off tank, not a mage, not a debuffer, not a buffer. So it simply doesn't make any sense to evolve it in a support class. o.O

Ok, I know it's to late to whine about it now and nothing can be done to change things at this point... but seriously if SE is interested in our feedback these are my 2 cents.

P.S.
Fear and Coglin's logic... my daily heroes *facepalm*

FFIV Rosa was a white mage that used a bow and arrow. FFII Maria is best suited for a black mage role and starts with a bow. FF Tactics Advance and FFTA2 the archer was an enfeebling job capable of moves such as blinding, charming and immobilizing the target as well as other abilities. Only in some FF games has it been a major DD.

more random logic otw... u,u
When I list what an Archer is not, I'm talking about FFXIV's Archer...

Who cares?

If the jenuine ranged DD job for an archer is not forthcoming, then I'll be playing whatever FOTM job there will be, while waiting for a musketeer/ranger. And if that won't happen, I'll take my wallet and go somewhere else. There is plenty of fish out there.

One thing is for sure. I will not play a freakin' support job just because SE decided to radically change its job description 12 months after I bought their piece of shit game.

yonnji is a shit name too and u still have it.
