Change BARD Limit Break

[Rekujen]

DPS Role should bring DPS Limit Break

Bards are a DAMAGE class that brings BUFFS, we are not heal bots ffs.

I always thought it was off for Bard to have a healing LB. Then again, if all healers die and you need tier 3 to raise... it can be useful... but it's very odd.

incorrect - bard is a support-DPS hybrid. Bard is NOT a pure DPS job. Want to play as DPS? Stay archer. Classes don't magically disappear just because you unlock their jobs.

Look through your bard action list. There's what...one DPS ability? That one DPS ability doesn't make you a DPS job anymore than White Mage's one damage ability Holy makes them a DPS job.

However, I do think that they should probably change it to something besides healing, something more supporty. Maybe some kind of 10 second buff for party, debuff for all nearby enemies?

I'd like to think that they could get "Heroism" a 10second buff (tier 3) that gives +20% damage and healing and maybe skill/spell speed.

something along those lines.

Yeah you're right. I should discount the DPS abilities from the only classes I am allowed to equip abilities from, plus the overwhelming number of DPS abilities compared to my songs. Guess BRDs should just sing songs and go afk. I'll pass it on.

Living under a rock? 90% of Bard abilities are DPS.....

Having one support buff up at a time doesn't really make a DPS class much of a "hybrid"... Unless you think Monk becomes a "support-DPS hybrid" because of Mantra or something equally ridiculous. One ability is an attack, one is a self-buff, two are party buffs, and one's an enemy debuff. Not much of a "support" hybrid. Nevermind all the Archer skills... But people have already mentioned that in abundance.
Let's not even mention that Archer is stuck with the same limit break... You know, before they become all support-like.

I looked through my BRD action list and found exactly 100% ZERO healer abilities. But ok, whatever you say lol

Even Archer has heal as its Limit Break.
