Ways to fix BRD and MCH in a realistic way

[Lillia]

The intent was more to have something you can plan to weave into your rotation while keeping the instant-cast-mobile nature of BRD intact. I'm sure there are kinks that need to be dealt with to make it worthy of implementation, but it's just an idea I put together on the spot.

That's actually not why I wouldn't.... It's just really reliant on songs that way and as much as I love being utility, I also don't feel great about us being tied to singing songs more than we are right now as it would force more down time unless invocation isn't a song..? then wanderer's I may also use a lot of TP depending on the skill used when under that effect right..? Idk... it needs a little work as you said..

besides we were nerfed for being too useful with rain of death and hawk eye before, wouldn't that concept just defeat that logic? Idk... it just seems like we'd be given too much and be really tied to repeatedly using a song under quite a few situations....

Edit: I reached my daily limit, so I'm going to just edit here.

Well, yeah. That's sort of the point. I figure a BRD could save it for Sidewinder with both DoTs up (or at least be faced with the choice of trippling TP cost for bigger burst or waiting until hitting verse V for the additional DoT). Also keep in mind Invocation has a 30 second cooldown, so it's not something you can really spam.
Old Rain of Death lowered enemy attack, though. Verse II would put BRD in line with what DRG does (DRG would still be able to refresh the duration while BRD would not since the duration is shorter than the cooldown on Invoke). Verse IV could be changed into something else, but I had just read a thread about how DRKs don't have enough +Parry when I came up with the effects for it.

But then if we're in I for too long due to Invoc being down then how will we maintain our tp until II? I'm not trying to poke holes into your concept, I think it's a good one... I'm just a little wary on it.
