To me, Bard is a pure DPS job right now. Specially if its true that we share PGL skills instead of CNJ now. Which is fine, cause the support functions don't seem all that useful. Mages seem to have ways to self sustain their MP, so MP regen songs don't seem that useful. Foe Requiem is pretty much there to add DPS and it doesn't even cause the 20% DPS penalty. TP regen I guess we have to see how hard it is to maintain TP at higher levels.

I hope they do an overhaul of Archer/Bard/Ranger whenever they do decide to add Ranger. Bard right now feels like Ranger trapped in a Bard's body. I would rather have Bards have more variety in songs, have more potent songs that actually are necessary for certain situations, maybe have Bard be MND focused instead of DEX and use CNJ skills so they can be a decent off healer too. Permanent 20% reduction in damage.
