Hey it sucks for the Bards' DPS to have to play the ballad. 20% DPS loss every time. Does that make it a worthless skill?

So Monks have to take a hit in their DPS as compared to optimal if they are on interrupt duty. Guess what? Because of the way the animations work in this game Bards do as well (meaning to ensure Blunt Arrow does go off when needed we might have to hold off on those abilities which have longer animations). It's how it goes with utilities. Nothing for Monks to complain about, and good ones don't.
