Q4:
Bard was made easier to manage in 5.0, but since the number of songs hasn't increased, the job seems to be lacking in party support. Do you have any plans to add songs that'll support the party?

A4:
In patch 5.0, we removed most party synergy effects, but left actions such as Nature's Minne to differentiate it from machinist. Giving bard more party utility would make bard closer to dancer, and would require bard's damage to be lowered. The current situation is that it has some party utility, and has decent damage, which is hard to balance.

However, we would like to consider player opinion, so please continue to provide feedback on the forums so we may reference it for future adjustments.
