Bard - they broke my job

Thank you very much, I didn't bother testing to find the exact number but yeah I knew it was around that number...

So yeah, im really not sure what all these bards saying "OH MINUET IS SO GREAT, MUCH DPS" are talking about.

Btw, I think it's more like 20% now with how barrage has been changed.

Didn't consider that. That pie graph I linked was out of 4,179 "swings", and barrage was used 25 times. If you calculate that Barrage has a 10s duration, and the average delay of AA's in this data is 3.74 seconds, that means at best you get an extra 8 auto attacks per Barrage, but realistically it averages out to 7. So in this data, out of 916 AA's, Barrage most likely accounted for 175 of them, so factoring that in your AA contribution goes down to 18.5%. Still not a big difference for what you lose imo.

Its late and I can't math good but there are the numbers lol

Sadly barrage no longer effects auto attacks right? You use barrage, then use 1 weaponskill and it adds 2 additional non-crit hits to it. Sounds nice? but its not really, it was much more useful before they nerfed it to not buff auto attacks. When I play my bard now I feel like I am massivly lagging behind the other dps classes in the party. IMO with the songs we currently have our dps needs a buff outside of WM.
