Bard Job

Bard

"Life's pretty boring without you as entertainment, my man."

Some people bring staves or swords to battle, but not the Bard. These charming men support their allies with the music they make, raising their spirits and their abilities with rousing harp solos. The Bard is often accused of not taking things seriously enough, but the carefree Bard is only following his heart's desires, and why shouldn't he? There's a whole world out there, and it's a world full of music.

Bard is a support job which possesses the ability to grant healing and enhancements to the entire party. Some of their songs heal HP and MP, while other melodies provide potent buffs such as Haste. Bards do not depend on MP to use their abilities, at the expense of shorter timers than most magic buffs.
