Well there's a "big" patch coming next thursday, or at least that was the original roadmap plan. It'll have PvP vendor and some free event shit at the very least, not sure if Destroyer is still planned. But yeah we don't really know until they release the updated roadmap. It seems they're doing updates every 2 weeks though which is a good pace to keep people interested I think, DFO was doing the same thing(although sometimes it was just new events and no content depending on what was next) and it definitely helps the boredom when you do some new things and once you start tiring of it, there's some more coming a few days later.


And yeah I forgot to reply to that post, Bard is absolutely better in a 3melee party(especially ass huggers) than in a ranged party. In a ranged party you can't hit people+boss with the pbaoe shield and you have to hit the boss to get meter and the range is shit to shield so unless the casters are close to the boss, you're not hitting them. Same for the 2nd dmg buff, the big music ball shit on the ground, the range is garbo on that and while it generates less meter, it still does if it hits the boss, so you want to drop it so it touches the boss and so ppl can stand in it to get the dmg buff. Ranged players? They don't do that. Then you have the heal, which is hard to coordinate to drop on 3 ranged all spreading all around the place.

I think Bard is best in a premade team with ppl who understand how it works so you can coordinate. You need people to stack up for buffs/shields, you need to coordinate burst phases with your serenade buff. In pubs honestly these 2 skills are pretty fucking useless in a lot of groups cause ppl just spread out or run around like idiots. Paladin on the other hand, both dmg buffs are like 24m radius and the shield can be targetted directly on people even if they're not close to you, and hitting the boss is less of a priority since it's not your big generator(the damage buff skills are). That's why Paladin is a lot easier to play right. Also it has a movement skill and a shorter cd on the spacebar, so much more mobile.
