ARC should not be a Bard

[JudgeN]

Well guys its time to eat crow and I have no problem taking a piece.

Bard isn't to bad at all, songs last just long enough for you to do some good DPS and we got rain of death.

You did good Yoshi P

Bon appétit! You'll never be invited to a party as BRD "to do some good DPS". You will be invited to serve as the MP bitch.

Yoshi did good on ruining the only non-magical ranged DD class in the game.

This isn't FFXI were you need to cast 2 sings on the mages and the melee's, there is only 4 damn songs. Its 1/2 a second to cast ballad and your back to damage dealing. What in gods name are you complaining about?

Any of the new DD jobs outperforms BRD in dealing damage.

There is no reason to purposely invite BRD to a party as a DD, if one has a MNK, DRG, WAR, or another BLM available.

Your BRD will never be invited to a party for your Oh So Amazing "damage dealing". Your BRD will be invited to be an MP/HP bitch.

In view of all above mentioned, for those of us who keep hoping for SE to give us a pure ranged DD job, your silly excitement about BRD being still able "to do some good DPS" can only be perceived as either insult, or a stupidity.

Really?

Are you really this dense? or perhaps your reading comprehension is just off. Where does he state that BRD does the most DPS? Where does he state that BRD does 'Oh so amazing' damage? He states that even though they are designed to buff the party, they still do "pretty good DPS" (Which is a far cry from "oh so amazing")

His point was that BRD isn't just a ballad bitch. You can sing your songs (enhancing both mages and Melee), as well as do above average DPS. Unlike XI where you were stuck giving out songs the whole time and that was your sole role in the party. This is a hybrid class and if you thought BRD was just going to be a DD, well, i don't know what to tell you.

Just because you are butt-hurt that they didn't continue to make ARC OP and allowed other DD to catch up, or that they didn't expand upon the ranged DD class, don't use that as an excuse to misinterpret someones post and lash out. It just makes you look incompetent. I'm sure in the future they will look into giving a Job to pure ranged DD, but until then, you are stuck with ARC. Deal.

with no keen flurry or blood for blood bards dps takes a serious hit.

You are forgeting also to add the damage the other dds do thanks to brd buffs. The party will do overall more dmg thanks to the bard. The parser might not put thoes points on your name but thanks to you as brd dps is higher. You guys complaining must have run thru the quest without reading.. The quest dude puts brd as archer job in its place. Arc should me brd if you dont like it stay arc. We are the class that has 2 options. We can dd as arc or support as brd.

"Lash out" would far more succinctly describe your own post. You are suffering from hysteria. Deal.

I don't quite understand what in my post you disagree with? Didn't I already point out exactly the same?

Your BRD will never be invited to a party as DD, if it can be helped. Your BRD will be invited as support. That is all.

Thank you for reinforcing my opinion.
