Please never change Bard (feedback)

Looks like Bard DPS got a buff too, since SB release only WHM has been able to out DPS me in raids and WHM has best single target DPS in the game.

I agree totally. While I didn't necessarily hate the cast times for bard in HW, I didn't like them either. Plus, I especially hated the way they felt on machinist. I'm glad both jobs have removed them.

Loving new BRD. I love that I'm not punished for singing songs anymore. I'm still trying to get used to what to sing when, though, and I think they actually added to button bloat instead of reduced it. But I'm enjoying my secondary. I never quit playing it and adjusted as a bowmage, but I'm much happier to put that in the past.

IAnd what's with Foe pulling mobs? Hate that.

It always did. I think they just widened the proximity. I can't name the amount of times I've accidentally pulled Demon Tome in Gubal NM when I thought the tank was ready but then they pulled back.

Guess I never noticed before, then. Or maybe I never used it close enough to something to pull it. But it's like it pulls everything now. They should change the name to Foe Magnet.

LOL yes I think that's an adequate name

Stopped playing HW because of the bard change along with real life but I like the change, however, I do feel some things could be better. I do throw out the extra healing buff or the 10% reduction but I get so busy they fall by the wayside often and the tp regen is pretty pointless with invigorate. They should rework some of the cross skills because what we have is pretty pathetic.

I wholeheartedly agree with the OP. Bowmage made me quit FF14 for two years; 4.0 BRD brought me back. No doubt, 4.0 BRD is the best iteration of this class to date, even outshining its previous pinnacle, the 2.0 BRD.

Bowmage will always be a piece of trash, and may it never come back ever. And to those very tiny minority asking for Bowmage back, don't worry! That kind of caster DPS playstyle is still available even in SB, and it's called BLM or SMN. Please feel free to reroll to those!

I leveled he BRD to 60 twice, hated it! Love the changes and feel really good playing it again.

The TP regen is for the party. You benefit as well, but it's a support skill.
