Change BARD Limit Break

[Rekujen]

Level to 50 and do so some hard mode before whining.

I have save my group a few times already on ifrit hm from a failed stun. Healers do not have time to cast LB. Only bard can do it.

I have done 4-man dungeons with 2 bard, you don't need LB at all. In facts, I have cleared dungeons faster with 2 bard.

That's great, you saved your group.... If i wanted to save groups I would have rolled a healer, not a DPS class that just so happens to have some supportive abilities. Bards were never "group savers" they were always DPS that brought extra to the group, whether it's haste buffs, mana regen, crit, etc etc.. never were they considered heal bots, which is why they removed Conjurer abilities from the additional slots in the first place and gave us more damaging abilities.

The Limit Break should be a form of damage that also buffs the group for a few seconds, maybe a ranged power shot that does less damage than the melee limit break but gives everyone haste+crit for 45 seconds?

I'm all for supporting, but like I said, Bard is not a healer... even if you're "saving groups" it shouldn't have been a healing limit break.

BRD should have some type of group buff for their limit break such as haste, damage boost and damage reduction.

ARCHER should have a DPS limit break.

The healing limit break right now is beyond lame.

I say they should give us our lvl 50 skill from 1.0 as our LB. In 1.0, our lvl 50 2hr increased our max hp for i believe, one minute. Of course knowing SE and what they did with the tank LB only lasting a few seconds, I doubt they would make the increase last very long.

I wish they would add another ranged physical dps before bards complain so much that SE just takes away any bardlike abilities..

Yeah, I definitely agree with this. I highly dislike the healing LB.

Even though they are considered "hybrid" to some here, the support only really seems to come one a need basis. Since songs give -20% damage, most people (or at least the ones in my FC) only use songs when they are needed. I wouldn't really consider that a "hybrid." I am almost always bard on anything and there are many instances I run where I don't need to play a single song. So far, things like Primals are really the only things that has need Ballad. Paeon, I have never used, and we don't have many BLMs to take for Requiem...the only thing I regularly use in the Job list is Rain of Death.

It kind of sucks because we want to take all bards sometimes but we always have to bring a MNK or DRG for the limit break xD

DPS Role should bring DPS Limit Break

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

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

I have a feeling ARC/BRD's LB will be changed when Musketeer gets introduced. There'll be a need for a physical ranged limit break. I'd suggest it being Eagle Eye Shot.

Bard LB1 and LB2 its almost useless :/

Also running late dungeons with 2 DPS bards its so fucking awesome

We need a "Real" Hybrid Support Limit break not this easy fix copy paste joke.

[Jayded]

People saying bard = support = LOL. Then why do bards outdps all other dps? Right, cause it's a DPS class. If they want to make bard a real support class, they have a looooong way to go; like adding some support for starters. MP/TP song does not a support class make.

Has Yoshi been questioned regarding this topic? I would love to hear his reasoning behind it...

I'd rather have a Ranger/Hunter as a branched job for archers.
