Um, we're not asking for the same DPS as melee or casters. Well, at least many of us career Bards aren't.
We don't want raw damage. That's not what we signed up for when we picked this job. All we want are improvements that actually expand upon our core mechanics and gameplay, not some half-assed "damage buff/caster mode" that no one asked for and also completely destroys what our class is supposed to be.
Our DPS doesn't have to be high. It's a tradeoff we get for our mobility and utility. After all, our class is all about mobility since we compensate for our low damage by being able to maintain DPS while dodging and rapid-firing oGCDs and procs. Just expand on our current gameplay without drastically changing it.
Many of us don't even care about Wanderer's Minuet. Buffing it won't solve the problem. If they removed WM altogether and made Empyreal Arrow and Iron Jaws usable outside of it, and returned the damage nerf on our songs from 15% to 20%, that would be more than enough to make many of us career Bards happy.
But of course, you wouldn't understand any of that because to you, a non-Bard who knows jack squat about the job and hasn't even reached lv 52 yet to try out Wanderer's Minuet, let alone Iron Jaws, Empyreal Arrow, and Sidewinder, "OMG YOU GAIZ ARE JUST DAMN JUKEBOXES, WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?!"
Truly spoken like someone completely clueless about Bards.
Well, as they say, people usually have strong opinions on things they know nothing about. :P
My advice:
You clearly know nothing about why we Bards chose to main Bards in the first place, nor do you know how to properly play our jobs. Yet here you are, making snarky, smart-ass comments in these BARD feedback threads, despite not having even learned Minuet.
You're just making yourself look bad and stupid. I suggest you just leave. Your opinions are null and void of all credibility if you don't even know a damn thing about what you're talking about.
