BARD resource?

Thank you for the help and how direct it was. Very much appreciated

Wide volley and rain of death are outdated. Quick knock is 20mp less than wide volley with the same potency and has a much larger area once you get your positioning down and can visualize your range. Free rain of death procs are nice, but unreliable. RoD was nice back when it had the damage debuff, but it's definatly not worth the gamble now that it only affects accuracy.

Well it takes 6 2/3s Wide Vollys to get a free Rain of Death TP which saves you the amount you'd save using nine Quick Knocks. Rain of death also lowers every target hit with a -10% evasion debuff.

I guess it's choose your poison...

Rain of Death's debuff may as well not exist; if you need it your gear or your party's gear is not up to snuff in the first place. Maintaining it is a huge TP sink. The only situation you can claim it's useful is against enemies who have Evasion boosts (Pugilists or Ixali), of which there are none outside of open world engagements. Which are pathetically easy.

QN vs WV is a matter of "which can I fit more enemies in" and nothing else.
