Bards, Checking In!

[Silvyaniss]

Future bard feeling like he's wasted hours leveling his CNJ for BRD only to find out it's been replaced by Pug.... So do I have to remake now or is getting a third class an option?
Any ideas on how to get back into form swiftly?
Currently ARC: 19 CNJ: 13.

4 Words Costa Del Mar Fates....the end.

one question I'm almost at my level 35 bard quest but where do I get my next bow or one of those white looking bows that are half bow half harp were those from 1.0? And, I sure they have more options on light armor later in the game I am not liking that Bard armor.

I'm a soon to be Bard! I love the Archer class so much, and after doing a bit of reading I'm actually quite exited to join the Bard ranks

[Mizundastud]

Alright, sounds like a plan. #FateCity lol

Baby Bard here. Got it last night and have done a few dungeons with him. I was planning on leveling up the other classes to 30 before really getting into my bard but I can't seem to pull myself away from this class! Can't wait to see what the future has to hold for Bards because as of right now I'm hooked lol.

Is there anything different between bard and archer? I saw in some thread people saying archer > bard. Isnt Bard archer with additional skills (songs)?

[Impendus]

The people saying Archer>Bard are people whom wanted RNG. The point of bard is to put out some dps while being a major part of supporting your raid groups, thus you do lose some dps by playing a couple of the songs due to the 20% reduction in dmg while it plays. Take that with a grain of salt because it's a super fun class to play

[Darkov]

Archer is only better than Bard when you're leveling and want a few skills from non-Bard classes, like having some Conjurer skills or something.

As an Endgame Bard right now (jokin, i still need to do ifrit in hard mode, just hit 50 and finish main quest), i can say that: SINGING. IS. USEFUL. Mages gonna love you. Period. Having the Whm/Sch who can regen faster his mana, means he can heal more. And you'll need a lot of healing, expect a lot, a LOT of AoE, and you can't dodge all. So... Sing your songs, fellow bards, and make your job not only limited by damagin the bosses.

...Also, btw, we are the master of criticals. Nobody do as much critical as we do. Believe me.

[Maxu]

kinda lost atm. GC Bow is entry level weapon yeah? The don't do Ifrit until you have it weapon.. but you need to complete Amdapor first to get your rank for lvl 50 weapons. So what do we get to progress here? Should I try and nab a Crab bow and hope someone doesn't think I'm too gimp for Amdapor?
