If it were not for bards, many of the more enduring fights would have MP/TP users quaffing potions. This poses three unique problems...

1: Waiting for cooldown timer on potions
2: Lost revenue (having to resupply potions)
3: Lost DPS (not just from Summoners and Black Mages either, don't count out the tank-type classes)

We bards are DPS batteries... we work damage through the other classes as well, hence, "support class" on description.

Funny, this was a test ran not but two days ago; avoid people complaining about "...you weren't in range of me to hear your song!" and, "...you're supposed to support the whole party!". 2 bards, 1 stone...

POSITIONING IS KEY (can't say it enough) (continued next page...)

Bard-A can stay closer to the fight and run Foe Requiem, switching to Army's Paeon when TP users need the boost. Bard-B positions halfway between the Bard-A and MP users. Because songs drain MP, Bard-A supporting TP users/DPS with FR and AP can leech MP regen from Bard-B; MP user support.
