Bard and Wanderer's Minuet use it

oh, so thats why I have been getting recommendations as a bard and I still suck because I just started to play the expansion a few days ago.

yeah it does, you always have to run after healers who keep running away from your ballad.

If a healer is running away from your Ballad, then that's a problem they need to fix (which is "get closer"). Not you... unless you're way off somewhere that even Foe's Requiem won't affect the mob.

That seems to happen always in moogle extreme and coil turn 5.

Ran aetherochemical last night with 2 bards, not single one if them were using WM. I don't have a problem with that, let them play what they want, what they feel comfortable. Still they wrecked the dungeon though.

My point is, If they don't wanna use it, then let them be, no need to force them or anything. You'll get smoother run.

Yknow how the run could be even smoother, though? If they just used it.

Edit: without necessitating force, if that wasnt clear

You can force them too, yeah, but it will interrupt their state if mind, which will make dg run longer. Let them play what they like.

You would have a even smoother one if they used it. They are just lowering their own DPS and slowing down the dungeon.

As I say in my above post, you could disrupt their state of mind if you're forcing something they dont like to do, which will probably make the dungeon longer.

I don't understand why most of the back and forth debates in this thread have been with people who aren't even main BRDs....anyways I've played BRD since 2.0 released and I loved the whole being able to move and pew pew thing which technically I still have under WM i'm just slightly slower at it since of the cast on my arrows. I am not a fan of WM but I use it to get passed content/speed things up.

Tbh I like the burst of damage I get when I crit under WM it's nice to see my HS crit for 1k+, I just dislike that clunky feel of it. When I want to pop an ability it feels like it takes longer since the oGCD/ability I used won't go off till the cast is over and it's not even a game breaking thing it's just a personal gripe.
