The only job that will need your ballad will be WHM. just cast it when WHM low on mp. SCH might need ballad only if fight is too intense and SCH has no time to self regen MP. As for BLM, they would probably self regen quicker than your songs provide, BLM would probably like it even more if you use Foe Requiem (forgot when you get this song, 35?).
How much MP does it recover? didn't really bother to count, just know that it's enough for WHM to recover full MP sooner or later. Bards are one of the top DPS, don't full time use song unless neccesary, during end game, your most important song will be ballad for the WHM in end game dungeon boss fight. TP not so much.
I would suggest you take time to level lancer/dragoon to level to 34, so you will get drg's Blood for Blood skill on your Brd as cross class skill, not to mention Lancer's Invigorate skill, which instantly +400TP for you. BfB is similar to Archer's Raging Strike. Imagine buffing both and having 40% extra damage, Hawk eyes, Barrage, and PGL's buff, immense damage boost in 10-20s.
Just some tips for u ^^
whoa nice tips there.

I don't know I will have time to level up the lancer. and to level 34

? But damn, that is such a good ability too.
Also one last question, do you think it's ok to stop firing when I see the enmity meter is too high? Getting the aggro has never caused our party real problems so far, but the fight became very chaotic and I pity the tank

.
thanks, I really appreciate the answers.

i dont think so.. ive partied with many bards only like got one use only when the white mage was really low on mana it drains ur mana very fast tho if not i think the bard use tp regen or another song.
I think it's ok with the ballad draining my mana. So far I have no need for mana
yet. Idk whether bards will have a need for mana later in the games. I think I need to do some reading first.
