Lucy, it seems your mains seem to get knocked down for no reason.
On an unrelated note, might I convince you to pick up Samurai? No particular reason.
As a SMN main you have my understanding but not my sympathy haha
We've been nerfed every major update and now they're replacing everything in our class while everyone cheers; I welcome the new class but…it is a new class xD
Keep being yourself Lady Pyre. It's highly entertaining and even wholesome haha
I wish a nightmare could make me into a better person! Then I might have kept playing bard after I got it 80 for the mount. Great video! When I told my friend my comment in your suggestions video was "What is your least favorite job and why is it bard?" he laughed because he was there for a lot of my leveling and knew how much I hated it. I can't wait to link this video in my discord and basically take all the credit for it!
And she she covers Wellerman?! Officially favorite.
I like the opinion that the Bard is good, bad, and definitely not OK.
I really want Yoshi-P to go back to the idea of multiple jobs for the classes and implement some more classic FF jobs. Then we could turn bard into some kinda weird green class so it makes sense that the rotation isn't fun and replace the ranged DPS slot with Hunter or something that's just a braindead arrow-shooty job and everyone can go home happy.
I'm to busy vomiting from cringe to leave a good reply
Neat, you can sing
This content has no right being this good.
As a Bard main since 2.0, your take was certainly super cool, concise, and pretty funny! I absolutely do agree on a lot of the points taken. In Heavensward it definitely was a moment of "oh, they're doing THIS to us?" that I put up with but eventually grew to like the additional challenge in Savage back then. Stormblood and Shadowbringers Bard are pure love for me and are so much better with our mobility again. But I am taking this perspective contextualized in Bard alone, not compared to what DNC or others took from us, for example.
Great video! It'll be neat to see how Bard continues in Endwalker…
i leveled bowmage to 60 back in heavensward; telling my friends "it's not that bad!"
Oops.
What instrument does the bard job play, skin flute.
Boosting Bard to unlock Performance Action is the only way to play Bard. Anyways great content as always!
I feel out of place…I enjoy bard…there's no combo line and how bards fight is different with person, and you can play music if you put in the practice. Still enjoy you making the video…your cringe voice is worth listening to even though my ears bleed and your boss satan is currently collecting my blood for whatever the fuc he's using it for. I'm main MNK as well🤡 I regret nothing 🤡
Going from a scholar main in shadowbringers to a bard/summoner main in EW 🤡
The only DOT classes should be healers.
How we not at the One Million special yet? Hoomens these days
As a bard main, this is fresh salt a upon a long existing wound that wont heal. Bards were always snuffed even during 2.0 ( remember when Bards had Healer LB?)
All I'm saying is,
1) give us Dot spread for Fuck sakes
2) you can easily upgrade Quick Nock to Wide Volley
3) give us back Flame Arrow and Foe's Req
4) either give Repelling Shot to do some damage or just take it out all entirely
I started FFXIV not even two months ago and have stuck with Bard the entire time, although I’ve been recently dabbling in Gunbreaker and Astrologian because wowie those insta queues are a nice change of pace. Bard is lowkey suffering but also not really. Still love the job a lot tho <3
Sorry, I love my Bard. I love hanging back and watching all you get killed as I dodge. Then again, I play for fun, not for max damage.
… I feel like you half called me out when you were talking about the hyur into miqo'te, for me it was because of G'raha, made me realize that my hyur looked like a gremlin, and that miqo'te males don't. (Also, changed from bard to samurai a little before that, so that part was also a little accurate.)
I'm still mourning the original machinist that got changed along with bard because of the complaints… but machinist actually felt good with the casts because it felt rewarding to get a random procc to skip the cast once every now and then
Not saying that machinist is bad right now, I just miss the old mechanics a bit
Dark knight next! Do Dark Knight next!!!!
As a bard main who started around March-ish of this year, honestly, it might just be the fact that it's the job I'm most familiar with, but I do kind of like its lazier playstyle of relying on its DoTs and long party buffs. Truthfully, I looked at the changes in Endwalker and went "Wow, they're addressing my biggest problems with the job, I just kind of wish some of these changes came earlier in the class's progression tree rather than later."
Like, obviously, yeah, I don't have experience with the earlier forms of the job. But I was legitimately excited that they were increasing the durations on the DoTs and the songs, because to me, the strength of Bard is specifically that it isn't a super active class like other jobs, and the longer duration on stuff like Army's Paeon makes it feel like it doesn't exist exclusively to get canceled, and I can actually soak in that higher skill speed. The longer duration on Wanderer's Minuet means I can get more than one full strength arrow off, MAYBE two. The Bloodletter reset bonus on Quick Nock means that I'll be firing off more Rain of Death in later game content. The second stack of Bloodletter means that, while I may still lose some potential off-GCD dps, I'm losing significantly less during Mage's Ballad, and I can afford to be a bit lazy about my Bloodletter activations during Wanderer's Minuet and Army's Paeon without having the constant nagging in the back of my mind that I'm losing stacks by not casting it immediately, when I may have other priorities at the moment.
I've been a bard main since 1.0 (Reaper may steal me, might not.) Shadowbringers bard made me sad (Looking at you Dancer). Heavensward Bard was peak Bard.
*DOOTLY DOO MUSIC CAT INTENSIFIES*
Lucy what you missed is 7.0 holds a faint promise that they add Ranger ,have it use a bow too only with scouting armour so they can finally have 2 identities of bow users the flamboyant Bard with it's songs, and the shadowy scout Ranger.
Ranger picking up lost archer/rouge skills like poison tips from rouge/nin ,then we may actually have a dot spreader on a bow user.
Daring, insightful, thought provoking, stunning and brave, all of these words could describe this video. But kino? That describes this channel.
No more Scholar Copium?! Say it ain't so! XD
This hit me too hard… Bard is life. Bard is Love. Except in HW. That s**t sucked.
Literally the main reason im stuck in the FF14 hole right now and its great, you're hilarious Lucy, never change
Bard is bad yes drk got shafted true. Lucy knows the truth. I love ur vids btw
Yo, but why does Apex feel so bad to press?
Amazing as always! ENDWALKER HYPE
ive only been playing since 5.1 main bard and this still screams to me im convinced bard a for fun job like if you really wanted to play a support dps just play dancer its just better and the 6.0 changes just arent enough for me looks like I'm an edgy farmer now
As a long time Monk main I understand the pain and wish you would hold no ire for us. We too had our identity taken by the new melee on the block who was lavished with attention while Monk was given baffling RNG and a slow that ran completely contrary to how we liked to play. Then the devs lied to us in Shadowbringers and said they'd fix the problems after we got screwed in what they'd said was our own expansion only to simply… not.
Getting bard to 80 was suffering for me. It really felt like no ability had impact. Machinist and Dancer feel nice, like your abilities have a punch to them. Your arrows feel like nerf arrows.
Oh well, they get a guitar at least.
That singing voice is really cool xD
i will never unlock performance mode
Solid singing!
Heeeeyyy!!! For a guy kat you sure have a high voice!! lol
Was that a captain sparkles reference?
Bard's pretty good for full party and raid. The buffs makes plenty different especially when fighting tanky bosses and mobs.
I thought at the beginning you switched from bard to monk and was about to say that was the only wrong choice in this situation
"hm, boost is on sale. I'll treat myself why not? I can't play just scholar forever"
-top 10 famous last words
Yes, Lucy. It's all your fault. We'll have to blame you for QA having more time to get their job done. Very bad demon. Very naughty.
Don't main Bard.
-Sincerely, a Bard Main.
Bard's weirdest trait is that the song procs are tied to the dots.
LUCY I can't believe we had the SAME ORIGIN STORY…. Ever since 1.0 (technically 1.16 when jobs came out) I mained Bard, in 2.0 I mained bard.
Then in 3.0 once I found out what they did to my baby… by making it a BOW MAGE…?? I jumped ship to AST… and then my trust issues festered as they had no idea what to do with AST for the longest time in HW… But I'll never forget my Bard journey… I jumped ship to healers and casters and I'm never looking back unless its coughs dancer… is shot by an arrow
Awesome video again Lucy!!! Sage revitalization incoming!! ♥
Reworked every 2 years you say? So AST all over again.
