    No I didn't, lol. I just got up and watched the job skill video and was horrified when I saw a delay on Windbite and Poison Shot.

    Sigh... Brd's are getting a song called Wanderer's Minuette that buffs it skills while adding a cast time to them. So you get more damage, but with a trade off.

    SE can keep the tradeoff. Bard was fine w/o caster being forced on ppl who chose bard precisely because it wasn't a caster.

    You have essentially a new stancesong (It doesn't cost MP and can be mixed with your other songs). In it, you will lose auto-attacks entirely, and your actions will require a charge time during which you won't be able to move - but it is supposed to significantly amplify your DPS. It's meant to be swapped in and out based on if you have an opportunity to safely do so.

    Prepare to see a lot less bards. Most love the ability to just run around all the time loldpsing.

    That, or prepare to see a lot of bards not using minuet, since its a song and all.

    Well no, this will sort out the good bards with the bad.
    Bad bards will obviously go in a different job
    Good Bards will know what to combine with this song (I.E, if it actually gives an buff, Raging Strikes/Hawk's Eye).

    Also, was it actually said we cannot auto attack? Cause I believe that's not true.

    You can't auto attack in Minuet. I meant the above post as kind of a joke, I know a lot of ppl that Bard because its "easier and less stressful". I wonder if this will modify their outlook.

    I came in late and got a glimpse of my future bard. I'm actually happy about this change, excited to play around with it!
