Bard needs flat out 30% DPS nerf at least.

Why should a range class that has no cast time, require no positioning and is suppose to be support the highest dps?

Why is the easier to play class (able to make 1 macro to rule them all and use only 5 buttons) do the highest dps?

Range, No positoning requirement, no skill requirement, brings support and still best dps? wtf? It should be lowest DPS in game.

how about extremely hard to get gear compare to other class? And bard has no offensive skill unlike other job, and to use their skills, bard lose 20% dps?

1) It's not supposed to be support. That went out the window the instant they took away Conjurer and forced us to queue as DD in the duty finder.

2) Healing Limit Break that heals for about the same as 1 AoE heal.

3) Have you SEEN bard AF pants??? We should be top dps simply for having to wear those hideous things...

Okay I agree with you with everything but point 3; those pants are simply fabulous.

on behemoth i mostly see bards = dragoons -> black mages -> summoners = monks

edit: at 50 i should add, while leveling all i saw were summoners and bards

On shiva it seems to be a fairly even mix of

BLM=SMN=DRG=BRD

and only MNK is kinda rare.

Every DPS class has so many different threads that its just a straight up mess to find anything on them but look at the monks and they have a thread that has stayed on the first page since this forum has opened so honestly they are the most organized and probably help each other in so many ways. It's a shame the other DPS classes can't just discuss the class in one thread which would make finding information far easier.

I love the BARD AF Gear and cannot wait until I can get it.
On behemoth I see a ton of Arcanists and Scholars right now. I only saw a ton of Bards while I am doing my Archer/Bard Quests.
