by "support" i mean, NOT a Healer class, but something somewhere in betweene healer and dps (like red mage)
Building off of the title , i mean more in the section of helping the party stay alive, more than a small 1-3% dps increase, somthing like...
well, correct me if im wrong, but traditionally bard isnt a dps, its a support that provides a range of BUFFS for the party, and even a few debuffs for the enemy.
if nothing else i think bard needs a healing song -- at the very least a way to be an off-healer/support by giving a continus stream of health and or resources to their party or themselves.
______________________
A way i think this could happen would looks something like this
______________________
Option A.
Heart's Serenade : a song (spell) that can be sung on the battle field. this (channel) song can last up to 30 seconds and grants all allies within a 30 yalm range a regeneration buff that will stack on top of itself the longer its played .
(when the song begins it grants all surrounding players a regen healing +2% hp per second plus an additional 2% is added every 5 seconds the song goes uninterupted, capping out at a maximum of 14% hp regen per second at the end of the 30 second channel.)
while the bard is singing this song however they then become limited -- any movement will break the channel, and the bard will only have access to a few select attacks while this channel is happening.
______________________
Option B.
A simple buff addtion: simply put, every song bard is able to play has the additional effect of granting a small aoe health regen effect that can stack with the regen effects of the bards other songs (not other bards).
Just some thoughts .
thanks for your ears
