Bard limit break does not make sense

[Malix]

Smn have high dps , can swiftcast res which is great support tool , can knockback , 10dmg reduce, vrius + physick and get dps limit break.

in what situation is knock-back useful in a group environment, at level 50 smn has 0 mind gear meaning physick is not worth cast(not that it would be worth casting if we did stack mind), swiftcast is often used to summon pets, and every other dps gets a dps limit break.

BRD is a great DPS and support class (100x better compared to 1.0) I hope it gets even better when the level cap is increased

The limit break for it... is complete garbage.

I can hit my limit break as a healer why the hell do I need a BRD to have the exact same one as mine. BRD is not a healer. Give them some sort of support/Range limit break not this copy/pasta garbage for the sake of keeping stuff simple

The lack of imagination on the limit break system is just so...bad

I was expecting an AOE attack or a Lunatic High kind of buff LB to be honest. I'd rather they get a Lunatic high kind of thing lolz

While I feel our limit break is lackluster. Nothing is worse than DPS not using limit breaks even when asked

I personally love the BRD limit break and it fits perfectly in with the role of support. BRD does incredible damage, whether aoe or single target. With a DPS LB, we would be extremely OP. If we were to have a DPS LB there would be no need for any other DPS style class in the game. Ranged is far superior in any fight I have experienced. They are the most mobile and can sustain DPS and avoid extraneous damage simultaneously buffing the group with songs. If we were to have a DPS limit break there would be no need to take a monk or dragoon into end game instances.

Many of you need to step back and realize you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you!

Best way to answer that, OP, is that we have no need for a physical ranged DPS LB as of yet. You needed melee DPS LBs because have two such classes. We needed tank LBs because we have that too, and we needed magic DPS LBs beacause we have two of those as well.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I have a feeling that BRD's LB will change when Musketeer (class) and RNG (second job for ARC) enter the game.

So your suggestion is to make BRDs a must have.

Yes, DPS are a must have for any fight anywhere for anything. If you reread what I wrote, it's that a group of 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 bards have exactly 0 dps limit breaks.

People saying that bard shouldn't have a DPS limit break because they do a lot of damage is like saying a healer shouldn't have a healer limit break because they do a lot of healing. How in the actual fuck does any of that make sense?

[Burritoboy]

So if any of you have level 50 bards and have done the level 50 quest you would notice your bard companion (the guy who you get the quest from) does a healing song on your during your encounter. So when the level cap goes up are we going to get a healing type song of some sort. If we do then our LB would fit our support role. A lot of people want dps one. It doesn't make a difference to me because what makes a fight for a bard is when he uses his Battle Voice (Doubles the effectiveness of each song for 30 secs) and Then Mages Ballad.

So level 2 bard limit break is a party res and heal? Thats what it seemed to be saying..

I'm waiting SO HARD for that song. When i saw it, i loved it. °_° Is the song that i was waiting for my job.

Also, screw that, i love being on a support role, in my FC i'm almost at the top dps rating, and still i prefer focusing on optimal support, leaving the rest to my mates. I like it that way, make me feels more in control, than just simply being a glass cannon. (Still, i'm almost at the top dps rating, only drg and blm when use lb go past me)
