Would you support a rogue bard spec?

If rogues had a 4th spec added would you support a bardic support spec for them? Would you prefer if sub or assassin died and was replaced?

How would you feel if rogues put down a dagger and picked up a lute?

I will fight the concept of bards to my dying breath.

The only game to make bards cool was PoE because they were Viking skalds.

I support all specs, and don’t think any spec should ever be altered in it’s core design. More options is better c:

Have you seen the D&D movie?? how can you say bards aren’t cool?

Okay, I really like the DND movie, but I would not say the bard was cool in it.

How can you say that about one of the Chris’s?? Chris pine is my favorite of all the Hollywood Chris’s!

I would do the most devious things to get close to Chris Pine, don’t get me wrong

As long as it is ranged! In my cute little gnome opinion, we could use a ranged rogue spec if there is a new one!! 4 mdps specs seems like too many for the same class.

Monster Hunter has the best bard, smack a dragon out of the air, land near it’s ear as you buff your team and blow it’s ear out with your killer jams.

I haven’t played Monster Hunter so I will accept the possibility there are two (2) games with a cool bard in it.

LOTRO bards were cool. Basically, wielding song magic and blasting people with your voice.

does LotRO still exist?

Indeed it does.

No, because rogues aren’t bards.

I own the actual CDs for it… kept TRYING to get myself to max lvl but always lost interest once I got a toon to the areas where you start meeting orcs.

No, i played bard in ffxiv and it isn’t fun.
the whole concept is corny as hell too.

Yeah, I don’t blame you. 140 levels and it takes forever, like months depending. And I also own the original CDs for SoA. Cool stuff.

I just love how bizarre it is that FFXIV takes a ranger/hunter archetype and just randomly decides to make you a bard at like level 40

The playstyle is also terrible.
“oh your damage is low, BUT UR BUFFING UR TEAMMATES!!!”
i CHOSE TO PLAY DPS.

Bard is just a worse machinist in that game.

FF has some really good design choices and TERRIBLE ones to counter them.
melee being 100% guaranteed to do more damage than ranged is one of them.

I always enjoy LOTRO honestly but I’ll put like 20 hours in, realize I’m only level 25, and then realize I have 115 levels to go. They need to speed up leveling or squish or or something. It’s a game I want to love!
