This is true, while I am firmly against cast times for either. I will readily admit that it was MUCH better designed for mch than brd.

Lol, magic block and an ability that lets you 100% block rate.. nice :P
Concerned that boss placement on cleaving attacks and stuff while tanking might be weird to have it "behind" you (when normally you face the boss away from everyone else on the opposite side), but I guess we'll just have to adapt.
Wonder if Paladin didn't get a self sustain for their TP, and if that's because all melee DD have Goad now.
As someone who started playing bard in HW it didn't feel like a real job until I got WM and EA, so these changes sound like a step backwards (literally, considering that's how it used to be).
Glad everyone else is happy with the bard changes though, since it seems to be popular preference. If the emphasis is more on songs than doing damage or if it's somehow not as spammy as the L50 content is now I'll probably stick with it anyway.
Never ever used Wanderer Minuett or the Mch to begin with o.O
Its hella annoying + no auto atk + cant atk while dodging <.<
I do more dmg without it.
I dont choose to play mch/brd if it has Mage mode button lol
Getting very much over 'Casuals are too bad, so we made it easier' as a reason for every change....it's too much Lick King for my liking, atm.
It was "the" most successful actually. Every expansion after bled like 2 mill players.
I didn't catch all of the live letter but I loved that everyone was getting easy to follow indicators. It will make playing so much easier!
I suspect the overall theme for the jobs is going to be "Easy to play. Hard to Master."
