Why people hate bard using songs?

[SundayTrash]

on the other side i ask myself why Brds won't play mp songs for smns... yesterday i asked for it after ressing 2x in a row and got mad with ruin III cause oom (2 Highlevel-Brds in grp) and the answer was "Healers are fine."... oh okay... so its healers only huh?... Next time the answer will be "res is healer only as well - hakuna mata gypsy!" o.o

As a smn main for a long time, why the heck are u resing ppl in the first place, healer usually have swift cast up. Unless ur ask to resz or the other healer die and swift cast is down keep on dpsin.

This is quite common as a relief on healer mp when many rezzes are occuring, and singular raise will not punish your dps enough to leave the entire burden on healers, especially when shit is blowing up ( like the chaos that can spawn during diabolos because everyone forgets what dodging is). Your dps doesnt mean anything if your healers run out of mp and you wipe. Summoners also uses eye for eye on tanks too. I know shocking. Using your utility, blasphemy.

after maining whm for more than a year I might get the situations right when a smn res could be helpful and when not - that being said AuroA covered it very well.

Bard is not weak, only the player behind it

^ This.

Bards have some of the highest potential when it comes to DPS numbers. However, they have a very low skill floor and a very high skill ceiling. It's easier to play a bard and be terrible/mediocre than it is to be a bard and play it well.

I sure don't - as someone who mains WAR and frequently plays with BLMs and SMNs, I love having BRDs in my parties for Foe's and Warden's Paean. Naturally, using the songs and the rest of the job correctly is what matters - BRDs, like all jobs, are perfectly capable of being very valuable when played right.
