Bard updates?

I have been reading alot about bard updates. And seen even more wishful thinking lol

In this June's Version update bard is going to be getting a job ability that gives them the ability to make a song single target.. say Ballad for that Paladin that can never line up just right where you asked. lol

That is awesome.. and can I say one thing.. ABOUT TIME!!! Bard pretty much has been left pretty much un-touched by SE since it's NA release.

I wonder what lvl this ability will be available...

I just might start lvling bard again. lol

Some of the wishful thinking I have read about were pretty interesting. I think if they were implemented it would change the job alot... So highly doubtful SE would do it.. lol "STFU and get back to singing!"

an 8 second cast (think thats how long normal buffs take w/o casting gear) single target Regain song (gradually generate TP). This wouldnt be anything insane but would be a nice song for say DNC? perhaps RNG if he doesnt need prelude? or to prevent everyone from gaining a prebattle meditate so to speak just make it Store TP+ song. 5 hit combo SAMs? Maybe a AOE dispel? AoE Elegy? ffs maybe a nuke song? even if it does the amount of damage banish does least it gives me something to do during dynamis than sing 2 songs and twidle my thumbs for 5 minutes.

Single target Regain song would be awesome.. Or atleast a store TP song.

I'm all for a "nuke" song. Sometimes Bard gets very very boring..

I was hoping to get some discussion started on this.. but yeah I know it's bard not alot of people really play it.

I love bard and with what they had added with dnc they need to start beefing brd up. New songs, allow the brd to have three songs on him and maybe only two on the party.. I dont care just something. This single target thing is going to be fantastic. Ooh... the nuke song could be like a bst summon or something that shows up and attacks once... no... Is there a FF that has that? I feel like there is. Anyway, what abilities did brds have in FFTactics?

a summoned up pet for one time damage on calling would be awesome.. but SE would never do it as the SMN DRG and BST would all Freak out!!

Not sure about tactics.. Gunner plays it obsessively I will have to ask. Whenever he starts talking about that game my eyes glaze over.
