FFXIV The Advanced Guide To Bard The King Off Support In 6.4

good morning good evening and good afternoon I hope you're all enjoying patch 6.4 and today we are back with the next Advanced PVP guide featuring The One and Only Bard the class has always performed decently well however in patch 6.4 between resistance changes and its own personal births The Bard is in a really nice spot quite easily capable of dropping High kills and high damage games making it feel on par with the other physical range to DPS and The Bard support Factor has more impact than ever before making you a highly valued party member my name is salamander [Music] with no more delays let's get into it [Music] let's kick things off with the comparison The Bard is one of three physical ranged DPS the first of which is The Machinist in 6.4 The Machinist has become truly terrifying with their drill limit breaker combo dropping targets so fast they believe they were just one-shotted The Machinist is able to poison large groups while also applying heavy throwing your turret and your damage over time will devastate players not paying attention or your strong single Target abilities make machinist an ideal pick for those of you who just love to get in there and get slaying up next is the dancer seeing a lot more play time within patch 6.4 the dancer now has more resistance than the previous seasons and is the most mobile cluster play Within PVP you can easily Dash around keeping a safe distance while dealing decent damage but where they shine is their ability to end large team fights and shut down limit breaks using their own limit break to force all within range to lose control this opens up entire alliances to the mercy of your team and timed well you can force limit breaks such as the samurai to miss their timing all of this combined with a dancer's insane AOE damage will allow for you to dominate so what makes The Bard stand out to begin you are rewarded with more damage for keeping distance seeing your max damage when you are 15 yards away at any moment during combat you can release a volley of damage your AOE combo deals good damage and at the same time Buffs damage for both you and your party within 30 arms combine this with a barred warden's pay on nullifying the next CC increasing damage resistance and buffing healing potency allows the bar to set up a powerful push for your team and in 6.4 The Bard's limit gauge is more impactful than ever all within range get a 10 damage buff faster cooldowns and increased movement speed all while charging the limit gauges of those around you you don't have the burst potential of The Machinist or the AOE damage of a dancer Instead The Bard acts as a team initiator setting up kills turning battles in your team's favor preventing escapes shutting down targets and all around offering your team to give a difficulty level to each job The Machinist would be a one star with the dancer holding the two star and The Bard being a three star a good Bard can make it extremely difficult for enemies to achieve anything [Music] foreign we have the powerful shot dealing a base damage of 4000 which increases up to 6000 at max range Remember The Bard is rewarded for distance your max potential is when you are 15 yards away from your target there is never a reason to not be using your powerful shot as each shot takes 5 seconds from your Imperial Arrow cooldown the Imperial Arrow this ability can hold up to three charges each shot will deal four thousand damage up to 12 000 for all three when possible hold off until you have acquired all three stacks as this burst will allow you to finish off fleeing targets and set up easy kills for your team some situations will call for you to use one to two charges in order to secure the kill if you're looking to give another player a heart attack go for the triple shot next we have the Apex Arrow this skill helps push back against grouped players dealing 8 000 to all in a straight line your weapon skill cast and recast time will be reduced by 10 and will grant a 5 damage to yourself and all party members within 30 arms this power bonus lasts for the next 30 seconds while Apex arrow is on a 20 second cooldown meaning you are able to keep a permanent 5 damage boost going for the entire match the Apex arrow is especially effective in small chokes such as the center point on answer hack air or when a dark knight pulls groups together with their salted Earth mods that stand out from others will always be looking to combo this with other players as well as keeping up time on the 5 bonus damage following the Apex Arrow you will become blast Arrow Ready Blast Arrow once again deals 8 000 in a straight line and will grant these same 10 reduction in cast and recast times a second five percent damage before proc within 30 arms with a much shorter 10 second duration Landing the Apex Arrow into the blast Arrow gives you the opportunity to follow up with a triple volley of Imperial Arrows with a 10 bonus damage applied from your previous attacks even should the player survive this Onslaught they will very quickly be dispatched by the team for your single Target instant cast we have the Pitch Perfect 4 000 damage scaling to 8 000 once you reach the 15 yard distance threshold Pitch Perfect will also reduce your Imperial Arrow cooldown by 5 Seconds Pitch Perfect can only be activated under the effect of repertoire to gain access to the effect of repertoire you first need to use your crowd control silence Nocturne this skill in 6.4 has received an earth as silence completely shuts down a target's hot bar with no chance to purify the effects duration has gone from three seconds down to two seconds timed well silence is ideal to shut down limit breaks it can also set up a burst window prep your Imperial arrows wait until the target is around the 50 HP Mark shut down their abilities and healing then unload your Imperials your Pitch Perfect and even your Apex and blast arrows if you must used well silent Nocturne will often Grant you a free easy kill a second benefit of the silent Nocturne is its range has been reduced from 25 down to 15 yards meaning once you're arranged to use silence you will then know you are at your 15 yard radius to deal maximum damage potential for movement we have the repelling shot you must be within 10 yards of your target upon use you will deal 4 000 damage that Target will be bound while you yourself jump back 10 yards there is two ways to use the repelling shot you can play safe and hold on to the ability in case you get jumped and in other cases this can be used aggressively Rush the target binding them while putting yourself at a safe distance binding a Target will greatly help your tanks and your melee struggling to attack a fleeing Target keep in mind the jump back is based off the direction you are facing should you panic you can quickly find yourself accidentally diving into the enemy team next is your warden's pay on one of The Bard's strongest abilities while this ability will serve you well this truly shines when you cast it up on a tank or a milli once cast payon will remove one status of Affliction that could be removed by purify if an Affliction cannot be removed instead creates a barrier that nullifies the next status Affliction this means you can throw this skill onto a player diving in protecting them from the next CC ability and is wonderful to help a player Escape as this will remove one Affliction they are already struck with and better still once a cc action has been removed the player under the effect of pay on is granted warden's Grace reducing their damage taken by 25 percent while also increasing their healing via actions by another 25 percent this one ability allows you to help another team member set up a big play add this to a player who is already on a 100 battle high and you will make a friend for life it will always be tempted to use pay on for yourself but should only be done when it is needed for your own safety warden's pay on also grants repertoire granting you access to your Pitch Perfect and last up we have your limit break final Fantasia in 6.4 this is possibly one of the most underrated ultimates upon activation your cast and recast timers are reduced by 10 you will also be granted a 25 buff in movement speed the big part of this limit break for the next 30 seconds you and or within a 30 yard radius are granted a 10 damage buff and in 6.4 seeing a limit gauge charge rate changes final Fantasia is amazing as this will gradually fill up your allies limit breaks your main strategy as The Bard is to maintain your Apex Arrow buff that five percent damage bonus lasts for 30 seconds while the Apex Arrow itself is on a 20 second cooldown and thanks to the 30 arm radius you can keep yourself at an effective 15 yarn radius when able you should always be firing off your powerful shot to build Imperial arrows for large burst Windows a good hard-hitting opening rotation is using your Apex Arrow into your silent Nocturne giving you that bonus damage and the silence effect this allows you to burst down a Target along with blast Arrow Imperial arrows and Pitch Perfect the bod comes equipped with several shrimps a powerful silence to lock enemies a fast hard-hitting Burst window amazing team support negating or removing crowd control applying a damage resistance and granting bonus healing you can also maintain a permanent 5 damage boost thanks to your ultimate you can help your team acquire their limit breaks first [Music] foreign hitting as its other physical range DPS counterparts instead relying much more on a setup burst window you are also limited on movement getting caught out in the open with no repelling shot leads to a fast death with resistance changes if you are not paying attention you can be killed within a blink of an eye being a squishy Target it is not uncommon to be heavily focused and there we have it the fundamentals to know when picking up The Bard I would not be surprised if we see many more during this season of PVP so get out there and give it a go up next is a match of answer hakere with The Bard in play thanks again for clicking on
