There are several 'song' type skills such as gypsies kiss, magic strings, and neutral barrier. While these songs can give some great buffs in game to the receivers, they generally are really boring classes to play as. When I talk to people who play bards, dancers, and even mado mechs all i hear is how dreadfully not fun the classes are. After all, just activating a 'stand around skill' is pretty darn dull. The game shouldn't be dull, it should be fun.

My proposal to fix this dilemma is just a light touch from gear implementation. The 'upgrade song' gear would allow the caster of the song some unlocked skill or self buff that will both reward them for casting the song and make their game play experience more involved.

Some idea's would be;
When a Gypsy casts 'slow grace', and for the next 15 seconds her arrow Vulcan will cast 'decrease agi' on enemies when a 'black garter' accessory is worn.
When a Bard casts 'magic strings' and then casts 'song of lutie', he unlocks 'improvised song' for the next 15 seconds when a 'star struck guitar' is equiped.
When a Gypsy casts lady luck, her pride protects her and she gets +3x skill level perfect dodge when a Kafra band is on.

Granted these aren't the only possibilities just a start. The skills/buffs unlocked could be ones from renewal that will never grow on classic, unique ones to the GM's own design, or already in game skill cross overs (like decrease agi and arrow vulcan) to make the skills more interesting. Anywho hope you give it a thought

I hate playing my Maestro. It's the only thing I have at 150 and leveling anything new to 150 would take forever. Worked so long on this character and its been ruined since Renewal. I wish they would fix this class. If it weren't for my guild, I wouldn't be playing RO anymore because of what they did to this class.

Maybe classic is different, but I find dancer to be pretty fun... ^^; dazzler spam! Making monks angry, and surviving fists with the help of a soul linker's kaupe <3
