Yeah it’s sad but true.

Slowing down every job is fine, til you see it will exclude a lot of players. We have to remember compared to most MMORPGs FFXIV combat is slow for most jobs compared.

And while i suspect a lot won’t play the job. But a lot also will and bard is a really good alternative for those who don’t desire taking up such a speedy level of gameplay

I think this was genuinely SEs intention. And tbh I think adjusting bard to match the machinist on a more stabilised gameplay option was prolly the best way they could counteract the problems that would be assiosated

While ideas are always good, I don’t think there’s any avoiding it, to create a fast paced combat class in FFXIV requires a lot of things which don’t bold well with high ping.
