[@cyndanetierney6449]

"I just want to be liked." The only reason anyone plays bard.

[@CaptainButt]

That's...that's the exact reason I wanted to play a bard (ended up playing healer tho)

[@cyndanetierney6449]

Given that I have only tanks, healers, and BRD at level cap, I can see that, yes.

[@Larryzaur]

(bard voice) "I'M HELPING :B"

[@alexmaganda5827]

No one likes tanks i never get coms as tank when im healer i get most of the coms

[@RikuMasamune]

Reason I thought I'd be a Lalafell without knowing the community.

[@mrspartan6667]

As a young Bard main looking back on this. Bosses leaving every time you put up wanderers minute or reaching 3 stack Pitch is a total mood.

[@Krysta1Rose]

Newbie here (just beat first part of Heavensward) and I feel this in my very soul.

[@muhdyusuf24]

I thought I'm the only one lol.

[@mapledud158]

"That was such a straight shot!" *Shows heavy shot* "And yours must be a heavy shot!" *Shows straight shot*

[@willasaywhat]

THIS. Totally unnerving, but kind of the same mistake I make in my rotation so still accurate. XD

[@dwaynepipe300]

yup bard rotation "this and that and this and this and this and that"

[@ovletoak]

somerandomguy I read this on NGA but like Bard literally has to have fastest speed for rotation

[@SethAbercromby]

Bard does DPS and bakes you a cake too. Your rotation is affected by which song is currently active, the status of your enemy, random skill procs, your team composition, what you ate for dinner last Thursday. I wouldn't say they're that difficult to actually play, especially with Iron Jaws cutting down your DoT management to half, but there's a lot you can do to help your team out.

[@darkangel8566]

Me: oh I need to water my plants " changes to bard and plays the song of storms to water plants"

[@Larryzaur]

that's being efficient

[@darkangel8566]

Lol yup

[@Blu_Maryze]

I won't lie, the biggest reason why I'm still WHM was because when I first started I didn't understand what a rotation was and always wondered if dps had to "rotate" in game to be better. Also gods be kind, Tidus' laugh still scares me

[@Larryzaur]

maybe should've put the demonic tidus laugh :thinking:

[@EricWZ]

I have really bad ADD and whenever I DPS I forget where I'm at in the rotation and end up having to start over... thus.. ruining my DPS. So I switched to healer, and couldn't be happier.

[@kou7191]

I thought bards work on a priority system rather than a set rotation though....which....I guess is even more chaotic

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

@@Larryzaur I bet by now someone named their Bard Edward from Final Fantasy IV. 😆

[@sleepysera]

"If you raise me, I'll give you MP, okay?!" Literally me everytime I die on any sort of ranged class, even including casters xD

[@Wysperfauna]

Me too on my mch. "Uh, refresh is up if you wanna raise me..."

[@Larryzaur]

SWEET SWEET DELICIOUS MP

[@ReksNuadiah]

Larryzaur I'll pay u back I swear

[@BLEACHno1fanKH]

But thin air replaces you...i just raise to be nice :D

[@sleepysera]

Let's not kid ourselves, we all know thin air is gonna be used on holy spam~ ;)

[@morrison215]

"There are no Brown house mounts" And somewhere, Titan shed's a single tear.

[@mewfangirl1052]

Mellomori I was about to say the same thing

[@ARandomUser5]

Beat me to it lol

[@owendawg1]

Gullfaxi :'(

[@PunkFiddler]

1st thing that cameto my mind... titan pony. Smh

[@krazzysu]

Mellomori sheds*

[@metricAsc02]

1:06 -1:13 accurate representation of when you play bard and get matched with another bard when queuing for dungeons.

[@Ath0r64]

Bard is love ! Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me No more

[@Larryzaur]

and now it's stuck in my head

[@Ath0r64]

:3

[@322Gammer]

Not going to lie, when I have to dps with another bard I get super competitive with trying to be the better bard. Its the only thing I am ever competitive in and I don’t know why.

[@Ki-sn5bp]

Bard main knows: The only way to proc refulgent is to barrage empyrial

[@Larryzaur]

that's the way to manipulate rng alright

[@waking00one]

Jreamer this man knows the truth of the rng gods

[@violettheviolent25]

B-but I want to use barrage with refulgent arrow

[@ShivaServer2009]

100% true/accurate.

[@unrealmemories1351]

It is known.

[@Narutosonicrule1245]

It's so true, so I made a new song called "Commendation" in which I play the harp and cry.

[@LordGatar]

Jack Black the ultimate bard confirmed

[@avataraaronc]

You are unbelievably funny and i cant even. "I love simple and clean"

[@Larryzaur]

SANCTUARYYY,,,, MY SANCTUARRRYYYY

[@williamchicas1208]

3:52 *plays "simple and clean"* Bard: WHAT IS THIS EARGASM I'M HAVING?!

[@yerlydave2234]

That feeling when you have to use a barrage on empyreal arrow because you don't get a refulgent arrow proc, but then it's procs straight after. RIP.

[@Larryzaur]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[@Chris_Meade]

It hurts

[@raindrain1]

During the first...month or so, I thought Reffulgent could only proc during Army's Paean...because I NEVER GOT ONE IN MINUET.

[@JamesTheTurnbull]

That or when you fear pop 2 stack pitch perfect because time is almost up...... *then it procs the last second* #feelsbadman

[@pison1000]

As a Bard main, I can confirm that Refulgent Arrow won't proc until right after you use your Barrage on Empyreal Arrow.

[@MarusuB]

This entire video is my mood while playing bard honestly (great work again Larry keep it up proud of you

[@Tirryna]

Avatard Bezza omg! Me too! I kept wanting to give my tablet high fives! Lol

[@Larryzaur]

BIG MOOD, PERHAPS?! :O

[@MarusuB]

the BIGGEST of MOODS?! owo

[@JacketCK]

That feeling when you only leveled bard so that you can rick roll everyone in the middle of a raid

[@WintermothStudios]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU LARRY :'D I've been waiting for you to do this for so long. My day is complete. Thank you.

[@Teachidoll]

Me a bard main: *sees Larry's new video* YESS~!!!!!

[@Thatonedude227]

Taylor Cypcar as a former brd main I can attest to the 100% accuracy of this video

[@randyhudson2269]

I did the same! 😉

[@ClaerisGames]

Same lol

[@Larryzaur]

ahhhhh MAKE'N ME BLUSH

[@jakebnda]

I’ve been waiting so long for this video!!! So happy I could break out into song!

[@TheRyxas]

I've been watching your content for a while, mostly your "Basically" series. And I gotta say I have to subscribe now. Keep up the awesome work!

[@violettheviolent25]

I've been waiting for basically bard since I saw your first video! I check in like every other day to see if you'd posted one yet! Incredibly accurate video 🤣

[@sethkaiser7423]

(slowly creeps in) "Why HEL-LOOO there~~"

[@Padrier958]

You mixed up Straight Shot and Heavy Shot. ;P

[@Larryzaur]

oops 8D

[@Cassapphic]

“What about glamour? Just put a fancy hat on.” This did not age super well with the new races

[@leafegreens]

"If you raise me, I'll give you MP." Me every time.

[@recino2]

Summoner: lol, keyboard simulator Yoshi P: bards should be that too. Me: wait, what?

[@BlueNumber77]

The part with "I'm a good bard right? you guys like me right?" hit me too hard! it's so true that's how i feel (main BRD)

[@Poromies90]

I only have one wish before I die: Larry makes 'Basically, Ninja' -video.

[@dustinhatfield8373]

This has gotta be the best one I've seen so far. People at work looking st me like I'm crazy for cackling like a mad man at the spongebob gag

[@Kurorok611]

Am I the only one who thinks that the Level 60 Bard Quest is basically Final Fantasy XIV's Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny? with Ligeia being Beezleboss while: Guydelot is basically Jack Black while Sanson is Cage from the same movie?

[@michaelcoffey1991]

This made me smile, looking forward to this being one of the first classes/jobs I level once I get in the game in 5 to 6 months. As always thanks for the intel, laughs and such ;)

[@ImperfectSlendy]

As a Bard main, I can proudly say that the first song I learned with Perform was All-Star

[@Shadarkness]

Starting with a meme song, just how I love it. Always love watching Larry's videos, always so informative. :D

[@JaneDoe-xh3yr]

That spongebob reference. I love this guy

[@Larryzaur]

i love spongebob :D

[@Chiannachan]

The Zelda song was so Tidus! I loved it ❤️❤️❤️

[@234Spotman]

im so happy you made a simply bard :D not just because im going bard though; i was having a really bad night and then i saw this and now im cheered up, thanks larry!! you always make me smile!

[@Lawlsomedude]

"Oh now I get a proc oh THANK YOU SO MUCH" over two years later and that's still true somehow

[@TheNinja581]

clicked it as soon as i saw it. fucking love your vids. you got me to start playing FFXIV

[@misterbrogey2921]

This is 100% accurate and probably my new favorite Basically vid! :D

[@ZINGRAFLE]

The first things I learned on perform were All Star and Rick Roll. Worth it.

[@joshuawilliams5140]

You did well on the video I remember so many times getting those pitch perfect 3 stacks and the boss goes away but the worst is when you get refulgent arrow proc + birage and the boss went away I'm like no my proc. Keep up the great work Larryzaur.

[@zolmation]

The beginning of this video was FIRE, Larry. the rabanastre part wasn't bad but didn't keep the beginning energy going! Always a fan

[@snugglyhugs8698]

Thank you for this. I've been in a dark(knight) place for a while and this really brightened my day.

[@goofygamer4420]

Yay! I can finally subscribe to one of my new favorite youtubers! I love your videos so much, your humor always makes me laugh when I need it. Keep up the great work!

[@spookyplaguedoctor5714]

The funniest part is when you actually started on the rotation my monitor blacked out like it was some meta joke about keeping being good at bard a secret

[@vitaoboxer]

finally i love the "basically" videos and now with my class!!!

[@dustincieslik5397]

Always enjoy seeing a new Larry video makes me smile and miss FFXIV kept up the good work brocobo

[@LilAngelPrincess95]

I don't think I have clicked a video so fast. So accurate too. The procs.... I feel that in my soul The amount of times I have said "You raise me I give you mp" XD

[@TemLightKiBlade]

2.0 : a Ranger with songs, 3.0 : a Bard with a bow, 4.0 : a Ranger and Bard did a fusion dance. Wish they had made Ranger.

[@Skyyly]

Jay Obsidian or sniper

[@ajthecat2982]

You had me at the rotation 😂. Great stuff Larry keep it coming.

[@zen_7748]

I don't know why exactly, but the way Larry says "How dare you" makes me chuckle every time. First in the Basically, Dragoon video, and now here in Basically, Bard.

[@recurve9336]

Couldn't even make it through 90 seconds of this video without crying... Love the video!

[@Chocibunny]

All us Bard mains waited so long for this gem. Thank you Larry

[@StephiLynn]

As someone who recently discovered the joys or playing BRD, I really love this! Excellent job Larry!

[@Mad_Bird_Jubjub]

when everyone needs to stop moving but the bard continues to move and jump about... Always giving me a good laugh, never change BRDs

[@Sirenceol1]

But Larry, Santa works with bows all the time! He delivers presents! (Please don't kill me I'll stop I promise)

[@CC_Reisz]

Larry just found footage of my life, and somehow edited it so I was level 70

[@EthiasCalder]

It's always great to hear final fantasy tactics music. Such an underrated soundtrack

[@pokekid9000]

2:00 and the bard rotation has sent my sides on a trip around the planet

[@MrCrimsonCurls]

4:52 is such an accurate portrayal of my first BRD trip here.

[@TheScottayz1]

Ahhh, love that tactics battle music!

[@calig1342]

the whole spongebob rotation sequence ending in no refulgent proc is my entire life playing bard tbh

[@MrPhins]

Looking all over and still can't find the Basically, Botanist video.

[@kyoko16]

Nice video! it made me laugh. Also i didn't know you didn't do a basically bard video untill now.

[@grimdarhk]

As a bard, can confirm 100% accurate representation of how to play bard. Lol

[@Virante_games]

The Tenacious D clip was perfect 👍

[@FancyDoughnut]

Finally a BRD video, as a bard main I've been waiting a long time for this ! :D

[@vorasnull7537]

YES, YES, YES I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS! aww it was so short ;c

[@IIIColinIII]

I'm extremely happy you finally got around to bard! I am slightly sad that it isn't as in depth as some other videos you've done but I understand that's because you don't play the class much. :O Glad to see the video though! Made me very happy. Also, you mixed up the icons at the end there! :O

[@Novibearpants]

Thank you for inspiring me to work towards this class.

[@CoralReefyyy]

I don't know what the actual fuck this video is, but it is amazing in every sense of the word.

[@MarMar5654]

the mention of simple and clean is the reason I liked this video.

[@At0hip]

"No refulgent proc?..." I can relate to that feel, like many of us BRD too

[@bedrosjenkins1360]

Either I was their when he met Max or this had happened once before and will again. Because deja vu

[@WhisperBoo]

Holy shit, simple and clean was one of the first things I learned.

[@youmuko]

I love the Tenacious D clip in there.

[@sliphstream4927]

1:38 That Tidus laugh

[@MasterLagoz]

I have no idea what Bard does even after watching the video, but I so want to try it.

[@gir123315]

Accidentally hitting repelling shot tho during titan, that's my life.

[@Confuseddalek]

I played as a bard my first time through, but cant tell you how that class works.

[@shinywhimsicott3047]

The 'partys favorite' thing is tenfold when youre a MCH and you see a bard..

[@pantheamurasaki]

I have waited SO LONG for this video !

[@raindrain1]

"...No Reffulgent proc." Story of my Stormblood life right there.

[@DaCrunkBomb]

Yes Larry. +25 Bro Points for Tenacious D Tribute yell.

[@akkiko]

Burst out laughing at the 24 second mark. This is gonna be good.

[@katieschmitt9457]

"Oh now I get a proc"...my life everyday

[@neku757]

6:30 "the closes thing I could find to epona was this *makes a behemoth appear*"....boi epona is invincible in ocarina of time and majors mask

[@UndyingWladeslaus]

6:13 *sobs in hroth-bard*

[@minixmousy]

I died when you replaced the song with Tidus laughing. A+ way to avoid getting perform taken away, Larry.

[@BlueMoonSaturn]

I think this is your best Basically yet :O

[@CeilingNinja]

I like how the best Bard glamour is literally - dunno... fancy hat.

[@lordvaust5830]

The spongebob reference was greatly appreciated.

[@senshi910]

Wanderers min-you-ay Edit: i remember when you got the song of storms thing to work on stream and it rained, that was cool

[@masterderp1903]

That tenacious D clip just earned my sub

[@Puckanm]

Awww dude I thought I was about to hear the song of storms!!! lol was ready to level a bard!

[@DarkFrinda23Labrini]

*checks subscriptions* < Basically, Bard | FFXIV by Larryzaur > ...AT LAST!!!!!xD ♥

[@joshuahsanchez9687]

Anyone else realize that straight shot and heavy shot icons were mixed? lmao
