| Re: FFXI Bards vs. EQ Bards At 75 BRD is far from the worse solo class in the game. They might not be the best but I'd say they are probably near the top 5. The problem is people don't know how to solo with BRD and do it horribly. They wear horrible magely gear and don't really use the jobs ability to their advantage.
We aren't the fastest soloer but what matters when soloing is if you can do it when it's necessary. If you claim an NM it's not about how fast you can kill it but that you can. Sure it takes a RDM/NIN 20 minutes to solo Ulli but what matters is that they can.
The biggest thing about BRD is that they are probably the only job that can handle large amounts of EP-DC mobs. Any other job in the game would have trouble with that. RDM/NIN would come in second but BRD has uninteruptable sleeps that would keep us from getting owned while working out way through a group of mobs. |
