Bard is already and forever broken and is pretty much mandatory if you're fighting anything serious.

Ya brd is god. But we cant grow much anymore. All dds get stronger every update. We need our buffs to match/scale with ilvl and what not. Rem bards arent even as prestigious now with clarion call. We need that extra oomph back.

Bard is fun when you can do more ***besided sing. I've messed around with bard melee on delve mega boss and its fun. They should increase song duration outside of JA so you can do other stuff.

BRD has something no other job will get, which makes it invaluable. There are other jobs that give support buffs but they stack along with songs.

DD's compete with each other to fill the slots needed to deal damage, plus situational abilities that could help make fights easier.

Tanks as situational depending on what is needed, though PLD has grown to be the tank as it should be.

Healers are situational, if you don't need a powerhouse WHM you're better off with a hybrid healer who can do more than just heal.

Bard is fine IMO. I haven't played seriously since 2010 but I'm sure it hasn't changed much.

Bard is fine. Until you spend ~400m on two instruments and then get slapped in the face while other relics increase in level. How would u feel to be limited like that in your main job?

How is it a slap in the face when you work hard and spend gil to update your weapons/instruments, and they are relevant for a longer period of time than any other upgradable?

Afterglow auras that could be neat. Or maybe even 119 auras? Without afterglow?

I agree that bard is all powerful but they really are neglecting us, why not give us another haste and elegy song. They are giving all the other jobs what they always wanted. They give all other support jobs merited songs... Do bards get any merited songs? Nope!!
They are giving us the travel we always wanted. The damage out put we always wanted... Why not give us bards a little more to work with with? They believe that they are keeping us on par, but really compared to other jobs they are gimping us... Just like they gimped RNG back in the day...

C'mon SE help a butha out...

They don't do it cuz they want COR to do buff/hybrid thing.
