RIP Bard

[Kaze3434]

The sole reason I play Bard is because it's the only job that can freely move around while doing it's job.

If this is some extra thing that I can decide if I will use or not..cool.

If it undeniably makes you better than a Bard that DOESN'T use this skill and everyone will get mad at me for not using it then.. I guess I don't have a main job anymore. Maybe Botanist. /sigh..

the fact that people are making comments like yours because you have to work a little bit harder to do more damage is baffling and disappointing. you know all of two things about this song; it adds a cast time to moves and increases dmg of moves. the only valid worry i have seen people bring up is about blood leter and thats it.

your thoughts pretty much come down to this; "Oh no, i cant run and shoot and still keep up with others using a certain skill anymore! JOB BROKEN, THANKS SE!"

My favourite thing about this is that if you look at the video it appears they do use a Bloodletter but it looks a little bit different (Song -> Venom -> Wind -> Bloodletter? -> Barrage -> Heavy Shot? -> Sidewinder (dot buff), we have the smallest details on Minuet and it may change so many things. Bloodletter may actually be one of them. Probably something that disables it from Proccing for a trade-off while in Minuet.

Oh well, not be a surprise that people are jumping too conclusions without knowing the other over-half of bards new abilities.

It's fine people being against the concept of the skill, but people jumping to conclusions on how it interacts with other abilities is just straight up hilarious -- and some people even thinking SE hasn't considered the trade-offs made to use Minuet and haven't factored that into how much it buffs your skills is really, really sad, and unfortunately shows how little confidence players have in SE.

And to be honest, you could see this ability coming from the stratosphere of pluto.

I don't mind Wanderer's Minute as long as it means not accidentally shooting an un agroed mob when you're trying to target and focus it. If anything running and shooting just makes for good kiting in certain situations. Otherwise Wanderer's minute looks more like something you'd use for specific damage rotations.

Actually, we know three things. Firstly that it adds a cast time, secondly that it increases damage and thirdly that it removes auto-attacks. I agree we'll have to wait and see whether the benefits outweigh the costs, but I can fully understand why people are skeptical given how much we're sacrificing overall.

Most Brd feel uncomfortable when they play Blm,but For Blm playing as Brd,its like heaven.

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.

And then instantly went to the forums and made a complain thread. Way to go.

This is why we can't have nice things.

All these Bards trying to act like they weren't going to be Dark Knights anyway...

I never liked Bard in the current state of things, but unlike everyone else who seems to now hate the "new" Bard. I am loving the sound of Wanderers Minuet, it actually sounds quite skillful and tactical.

Uhm... what's your point?

I'm not against working harder. The only thing I'm saying is that I like playing Bard the most because we have the freedom to move around, which we are now getting a skill we know that will limit it somehow. I'm not even saying HOW it will limit it, because nobody knows, and I clearly made a concise point telling which way I would like the new skill to work and which way I would not like it to work, without making any assumptions, but simply being sad if it turns out the way I don't want it to.

Furthermore, don't assume people play Bard because it's EASIER than any other job. It isn't.

Good job on being rude though.

Unlikely. Just because they slap a fancy name with a dark theme on a tank job is not going to make me prefer tank jobs over DPS jobs. Not to mention they are introducing a ranged job, that shoots things, with the ability to nearly freely move around as Bards do.. So yeah, I'll be trying Machinist.
