in my opinion i think bard needs a serious rebranding (and by extension, rework).

the current iteration of bard plays almost NOTHING like an actual bard as of compared to popular games such as dnd, or even classic final fantasy titles. its really just an archer that keeps a harp on its back to prove i can play one, but dosent actually really even utilize the music it boasts --in fact if it didn't literally have the name BARD branded right next to its emblem i wouldn't even be able to tell that it was one at all. the current bard it actually plays closer to a ranger, where as a real bard would be a Magic dps, or a Healer with party wide buff and debuff utility.
