I don't feel that bard necessarily needs more support in terms of bigger numbers, but I do think bard needs to be able to use support more often. I would prefer to have weaker support abilities that I can use more frequently.

In 4.0, we had Minne every 45 seconds, Foe every 1-3 minutes (depending on Refresh usage), and Refresh and Battle Voice every 3 minutes. Minne and and Battle Voice are stronger now, but with the increased recast on Minne and the removal of Foe and Refresh, it feels like I am not providing much support because I rarely get to use a support ability.
