Direction of Bard?

[Wevlum]

I'd rather stay with having 1 song per bard, since it means we have minimal downtime dedicated to buffing before we return to DD'ing. It would interrupt the flow too much. I dunno why people want to carry a ton of instruments either, that was easily the absolute worst thing about BRD in FF11. We will probably get BRD-specific bows/bowharps that affect songs.

I didn't know about Resonance working with songs, that will be extremely useful.

Something else some of you might not know: Battle Voice works with Swiftsong and makes your party move REALLY quickly, I think its even faster than Fists of Wind with the MNK AF boots. Should be useful for getting back to where you were in a dungeon if you wipe.

Yeah I tried to find info on it online and failed so just tested it out via partying someone and using it in Ul at various distances with and without resonance. ...that said not 100% sure if I'll save it a space on my action bar (cure, stoneskin, raise, prism, sanguine)

EDIT; Always niche situations I guess though

I always have Resonance set instead of Sanguine Rite since it's useful for getting an emergency heal/stoneskin on the tank vs. moogles and they are on the other side of the arena, or a Raise on someone that died in a bad spot. I'm actually not sure when Sanguine Rite would be useful since we have Ballad. Only thing I can think of is for Hellfire or Moogle Memento. MP is never an issue in the former, and in the latter I just do Battle Voice + Ballad when the group gathers.

Sanguine Rite isn't used for its MP restoration, but for its ability to prevent cast interruption on yourself and others in your party (with Sacred Prism). This can be invaluable in both AV and CC, where there are many opportunities for BLMs to be interrupted, and it saves time if the BRD can Prism+Sanguine Rite.

[Estellios]

That is a good use for it. My group hasn't gotten up to speed running yet so we wait for Steel Cyclone before nuking but that will be a good thing to remember.

You... are a little slow, aren't you? She was saying you can't put more than 1 buff on 1 person.. and you go off on some random tangent that has nothing to do with what she said... and then wonder why she called you out on it.... just wow.

@Bustercucumbers - I hope we can start putting more than 1 buff on each individual once we get real "instruments" it's the way it was in XI, if you didn't have an actual instrument you could only put 1 song on said player, but the second you got an instrument, each player could receive 2 buffs from 1 bard. d('.'

You are a little slow aren't you? She was saying I said something I didn't. I know you can't put more then one buff on a person. She implied I said that when I did not. Turn about is fair play. I went further to explain it in detail hoe I use the limited range of buff AoE to buff seperatly in a fight (I specifically used my most recent ifrit battle)
