Bard

[Lewtz]

Why as a Bard do you give us TP Regen... Yet not allow us to see other players TP pools... H8 U... Why no Hyper links??? Why Cant I examine people's class's from the chat window?? Why do bards not get a dps limit or even a choice? Why is there so many small mistakes that impact the game as a whole?

SE will most likely add these on as add ons. I remember back in FFXI days they considered what you are asking cheating and did not allow it and probably still dont for the same reason, it refers to back in the day when players are meant to communicate with the bard. So if someone needed TP you had to actively talk and say something like "I'm running out of TP" thus letting the BRD to know to give you your TP song.

But again since MMORPG players don't talk to anyone anymore this will most likely be one of if not the very first add on that comes out, so just wait for it.

Man that would be so helpful. For that reason, I usually prioritize MP and only TP if I need it like between add spawns.

why? I'm fine with you not agreeing with me, but do you have a reason for it?

While on topic about bard what is the point of foes requiem? What does it do cause We don't have elemental attacks?
I also wish we had a dps limit break

It isn't meant to boost your DPS, it's meant to boost the DPS of magic damage classes (Primarily BLM). If you noticed it does NOT reduce your damage by 20% like peon or ballad does. Because of this it is good to have up when you have full MP and no need for another song (like at the start of a battle). No negative effects to you (Other than the 3 seconds it takes to cast it) and a small boost to DPS for your magic dealers.

Is that right? That's pretty useful. I always thought it was a typo that it doesn't reduce your attack. But then again, I should've actually tested it. And that's another thing. The elementals in this game are so confusing.

Well first you say they'll probably let you see it via addons later, but then you say they probably consider it cheating because it was cheating in XI. So which is it? It can't have addons for it but also be cheating. It was only "cheating" in XI because the PS2 was bad, and they didn't want anyone to have an advantage over someone else.

Not allowing people to see someones TP because they want you to communicate is idiotic at best. Needing to type things out in chat while playing can have a HUGE negative impact on gameplay. You can see everything else, why should you need to take extra steps for TP alone?

I thought they took out elemental resistance so does it really matter still? It also seems to pull aggro very easy.
Just really depressing oh I hit 30 let's go see my awesome new bard ability..really that's it
