Grudge isn't needed ? What about Desperate Salvation?

class discrimination ? I see that’s a way to go, I guess.

You do not rely on people never taking damage, that is one of the reasons you bring a support.
DPS can do much more damage when they feel comfortable knowing they can take more risk.

The highest DPS loss I witness daily is people who run around in fear.

So easy solution… get gud and show your superiority.

it’s funneh cause saintone runs GRUDGE 99% of the time then says nah you don’t need it

ive only ever seen him swap off grudge once and that was to ‘warm up’ in a prog group

You’re right, supports are not needed at all. Your entire worth is DPS saving on potions. Without Desperate Salvation, the only reason to take you along disappers.

I mean bards can still heal without DS, just for a lot less :P. Would still provide more DPS then a 4th DPSer.

Especially the ones on 10% hp skirting around the boss hoping for a miracle

People have problem with survival.
Grudge drastically reduces survival and Desperate salvation somewhat improves it.

I know it’s very complex and there are so many factors to consider…

Your “gocha” argument makes 0 sense.

Problem is the normal heal is shared more people in circle meand less heal for each person. DS 3 provides 24% hp to everyone in the vicinity when the heal ends its still massive.

Only as long as everyone is alive. One pepega DPS gets knocked off and it flips. 3 dps > 2 dps 1 sup

That person is just a troll in every topic.

grudge isn’t needed, content isn’t designed around 100% uptime, so you circumvent not having grudge by playing better and squeeze more damage uptime

which means if you do have grudge, it makes it possible for ppl to clear content with not playing as good, and lower damage uptime

Why are you comparing DS with Grudge as if you’re putting yourself in a huge risk where you can get 1 shotted by bosses? When you’re playing a class that uses heavy armor 3 and becomes as tanky as a Gunlancer and Destroyer?

When your team don’t need healing.
My support DPS setup. Provide Damage buff and shield. No healing.

true courage sucks btw the buff only applies to yourself

Yes, I do know that the Engraving is only for myself.

I’d still run Expert and Awakening for more Song of Courage and better shields.

True Courage can be taken at lvl1 it’s very strong lvl1 engraving. I run Expert/Awake/Grudge/TC1 on my Bard. I pull out something like 1/3 of a standards dps-class damage only from myself, and that’s for a proper dps, usually I’m equal dps wise than shit dpser. I still provide strong shields which is more than enough for sustaining dmg at my ilvl content, run identity tripods (less damage but more uptime on song of courage).

So far the only people that have made rant about me not having DS are people that are shit and eat every single hit in Argos and Yoho. Most people run just fine withtout Song of Salvation just like they run just fine without supports in Argos and Valtan. The shields and dmg reduction buffs are bonus for theim.

very true! Sometimes he accidentally says good takes trying to piss off idiots though.
