I'm probably the best geared Bard in the server by far and I have tested extensively, but go ahead and type your vomit salad. And if you had read the OP, you would've seen I never mentioned damage as a problem, I mentioned the problem is overall how boxeable the class is. In the first post I replied to you I also made it clear I don't want Bards to become DDs. I just pointed out how terrible their damage output is. I guess you can't read BECAUSE I EVEN SUGGESTED SOME CHANGES THAT DON'T MAKE BARDS BETTER DDS. You ignorant, non reading uneducated fools. Stop replying to my thread.

Clowns. I don't want Bards to become DDs. I was just pointing out that they're lackluster in every way, including damage. There's no point maining them. That's why there's like 5 Bard mains in the whole server. 99% of them are boxes. Fucking clowns @Roniakia @HotSWAG

There's like 5 SWS/BD mains in the whole server. DESPERATELY need a buff.

You have brain rot. A BD/SWS with a Yaksa*Yaksa +8 and + STR dyes hits a Mage for 800 damage. A Paladin hits a Mage for 800 damage with Shield Bash using -10 STR dyes with a top B weapon. Make it make sense. Also, I don't give a shit about damage. I care about the class be worth maining. I'm done replying to you, bojo

Huh? Brother I run a top dual +8, tried running STR dyes and I hit non tank classes for 500-600 damage on full buffs and mages for 700-800 damage with Deadly Strike. If you think that's "good damage" then you're not very bright. Again, with a +++weapon that very few players have. I don't care what damage YOU do when you hit C graders, I'm talking about PvPing vs players with top gear here. I don't care about your experience fighting lvl 50s in DV, thanks. Also, there's plenty of reasons to main Elders since they can heal and recharge, etc. Frankly your comprison is brain dead. I'll ignore you from now on so my IQ doesn't drop reading your posts. I'm not asking for BD/SwS to become DDs. I'm asking the devs to give a proper reason to main them because right now there isn't. They're nothing but rythm bots. Clearly, the devs intend bards to be played, not boxed, otherwise they wouldn't have restricted zerk dance to be active only with the BD in party. So if the devs want people to main bards, then they need to do better than making the class be rythm bots and then 1 pt skill every 5 minutes. Up to them.

Issues with BD/SWS 1- They're still used as boxes everywhere. Why? See Nr2. 2- You're still better off having another class in your pt and switching when you need to dance. Almost nobody plays this class as main for good reason. 3- Right now there's 0 reason to play a BD and a SWS. Might as well play a Tank class. You created BD/SwS with some restrictions when leaving pt (like Zerk Dance to disappear when leaving pt) because you wanted this class to be played, not boxed. But right now there's 0 incentives. Give this class some love. Suggestion: Make Rythms give a stronger % only to the SWS/BD (like Self Power) Rythm of Body: To party: 30% HP and 20 Speed / To SwS/BD: 35% HP and 25 Speed Rythm of Defense To party: 25% and Pdef 30% M.Def / To SwS/BD: 28% P.def 33% M.Def Rythm of Power To Party: 20% M.Atk and 12% P.Atk / To SwS/BD: 25 M.Atk and% 16 P.Atk Rythm of Critical To party: 100% Critical Rate and 35% Crit Damage / To SwS/BD: 115% Critical Rate and 40% Crit Damage Rythm of Rage To party: 30% Casting Speed, -40% Magic Cancel Damage and Atk. Speed +15% / To SwS/BD: 35% Casting Speed, -50% Magic Cancel Damage and 20% Atk. Speed Rythm of Benefit To party: Accuracy +4, Evasion +3 and HP Regen 20% / To SwS/BD: Accuracy +5, Evasion +4, HP Regen +30% Divine Rythm To Party: Holy Enhancement of Physical Attack + 20% and Dark Resist +20% / To SwS/BD: Holy Phys + 25% and Dark Resist 25% As it is right now there's literally 0 reason to play SWS and BD other than putting them in pt every few minutes for Rythms and maybe zerk. It's a box char. Give them some love, you currently have a server of 70% mages 10% fighters and 20% boxes. Give bards some love. There's only like 10 bard mains in the whole server FFS. Thanks for listening.
