Yoshi talked about giving bards a option to do more dmg , because they felt that brd were a little behind , since Brd could move and dps they decided than forcing brd to cast was the right trade off , and thats what WM is supposed to do trade movility for DMG........but isnt the case and WM doesnt bring Bard where it should be (ranged dps) , smn and blm do way more , hell even tanks (drk/war).... is just sad.

It will be fixed? yeah eventually (see WAR and DRG in 2.0-2.5)
