SWS and BDs are are dying

I'm seeing more and more SWS and BDs using "backpacks." This is because their songs and dances last 4 minutes. This condemns these classes to being less "mains" and more "backpacks." The longer their songs and dances last, the more they'll be used as "backpacks" behind your character to try to hyperbuff, completely destroying the game's balance.

The dances and songs should be 2 minutes long, or at most 2.5 minutes long. It would be more "burdensome" to switch screens to buff yourself every 2 minutes. I think anyone who wants to hyperbuff should party with main characters or play on a server x1000 or more.

I used as backpack even in official srvers where dance was 2 min.

I mean if ur sws/bd is higher lvl than u then should you do?

It’s always been this way. As long as second windows are allowed, people will use them to become independent from the party. There’s nothing you can do about it. Only enforcing a strict one-window rule would solve the problem. I don’t know why the Game Designers decided to ruin the game experience for players who enjoy BD, PP, and other main characters by allowing second windows or not punishing second-PC usage. The longer the server lasts, the more “backpack” characters will be created. Accept it. However, active players are always better than a window with delays and "AFK" position.

I understand that a buffer might be interesting as a backpack because its buffs last 20 minutes, it heals you, etc. If the songs and dances lasted 2 minutes, then it would be less worthwhile to use them as backpacks and they would be much more used as main ones.
