Bards, Checking In!

New Archer/Bard joining the community of fellow song lovers
I was too kind of dissapointed about those recent ability changes and lesser supoort utilities of the Bard. And yeah i invested my time too into lvling a Conjurer to level 20. But are we really less supportive through those changes ?!
- All of those Conjurer skills were used by spending MP. => MP of the Bard exist to maintain the duration of his/her songs.
- We would never be really good secondary healers => We don't share the same or rather any MND Stat on our gear, so we could never take the role of a secondary healer
when we heal only 1/4 or maybe even less than the White Mage/Scholar himself.
- Skill sharing of the Pugilist => Well we get "Internal Release" through which we have the highest Crit Hit Rating of all classes/jobs and "Second Wind" for self emergency heal purposes.

We also gained a buff to increase incoming heals, potentially party-wide, by 10% for 15 seconds

Yea we have access to "Mantra" too, when we do have the time to spare to level up the Pugilist to lvl 42 ...
Finally i can just recommend us to try those changes out and it's not like we lost our purpose at all in the groups. Those kind of adjustments are never final and let's see what the future decides for us
