I can see them being more useful in large raids if you have two bards rotating songs to keep each others MP up. I guess for really long fights the songs could be pretty beneficial so that tanks and DPS don't suffer from TP starvation and healers don't go OOM halfway through.
Hmmm…I'm thinking either…Warrior, Monk or White Mage? what are we lacking at the moment? heals? direct dps? it seems like we'll be solid on tanks…I'm thinking it'll also be alot easier to gear up as a Monk as well…
So for 24 mans, depending on the mechanics and stuff I guess, I would think a setup like this would probably be ideal.
Tank Group
2 Tanks 2 Healers 2 Bards 2 BLM
DPS
1 Healer 2 Bards 5 DPS
DPS
1 Healer 2 Bards 5 DPS
This is assuming BRD songs only hit people in their party and not the whole raid. But I guess we'll see for sure when people actually start raiding and more info is out, which shouldn't be long with all the Legacy servers.
Any idea on where to get some hard facts on arcanist/summoner I know they haven't been released yet just wondering if there are some tools out there to be had. Thanks!! (:
Unfortunately they weren't even in the data files for the beta client, so we have no idea what skills they're going to have or anything. Apparently they'll be in phase 4 though, so we'll know then.
Actually I take that back. There were some ACN/SMN skills that were datamined a while back, but it's possible it's not accurate as a lot of the stuff could/may have already changed so take from it what you will. http://ffxiv.zam.com/forum.html?forum=152&mid=1371136710213765468&h=50
