They already were better if played properly. MCH just requires more work.

Don't forget the worse WD scaling bards (and MCH) have compared to any other class.

Yup, it did.

Dev's are aware of the issues people have with WM and WP. (What a suprise)
...

Yeah it was most likely inevitable, but this is still somewhat of a nerf to a class that's already behind.

It worked even prior to todays hotfix patch, but the gains are extremely minimal.

well RiP stance dancing. Doesn't work anymore as of todays hotfix patch.

Sidewinder is not glitched. It's one of the dozen skills that currently has an incorrect tooltip. If you check up on the japanese tooltip, which were all updated accordingly, you'd see that...

Not even. It doesnt work on Pacification (warrior's berserk) for example.

Wouldn't that apply to most parses posted recently?

The parse I posted from Viola Endstasis has him sitting at ~1010 dps without Wildfire or the 977 dps parse from Zetsu Tai 2 pages back can be...

Guy does 980~990 dps with 100% GB uptime in 3:30-ish mins, which is what most people are parsing for. Havn't seen many people outparse...

Doubt any bard can hit 1k dps with the law weapon.

Not for me. It shows up fine under incomming damage on the dummy, but it's not included in my outgoing damage and dps.

Keep in mind that Wildfire isn't tracked in the main parse of ACT.

With party/food/pot.

Parse of Viola Endstasis from Elysium.

I know it's been like that even before 3.0, but the WD margin between bard and every other classes increases with higher WD, which puts us behind even more.

at i95: Bard WD is at 42 compared to...

WD scaling is partially at fault here as well. The higher our ilvl/WD goes the more bard falls behind due to their poor WD scaling compared to every other class.

Do both hits crit together or individually? (Natural crits)

Those are dummy parses though. Realistically melees are going to parse lower on any actual fight compared to dummies. Bard dps however is not affected by like 90% of mechanics... I havn't seen any...

Bard works the same way though.


I'd be curious to see how much of a % loss it is if you have your turret sing in comparision to bards -15% on songs.

Seems to be sitting around the same dps as bard. Seen them be able to pull 800+

Well there's a 3mins 30secs dummy parse floating around with 836 dps on MCH, which is pretty much what bard is sitting at as well.

Considering half of the english tooltips are worded wrong or poorly and it doesn't state anything regarding wanderer's minuet in the japanese tooltips, it's very likely to be the case.

Havn't had much success with it either, but I think I can still optimize the timing in my rotation and get some better results.

Havn't put too much testing into it, but I believe they're coded the same way as summoner pets. (Which also benefit off of your food buff now) Should have been a bit more clearer I guess, sorry!
