3.01 Patch Notes

[Nalien]

I'm not sure you even read the patch notes.

They've nerfed the potency of Sidewinder and Empyreal Arrow, though, even if you account for the extra 10% added to Wanderer's Minuet.

Empyreal Arrow then: 240 + 20% = ~288.
Empyreal Arrow now: 220 + 30% = ~286.

OK that's not so bad, makes sense in fact, but Sidewinder got destroyed;

Sidewinder then: 350 + 20% = ~420.
Sidewinder now: 250 + 30% = ~325.

Wanderer's Minuet was perhaps fixed, Empyreal Arrow was adjusted to account for that, but Sidewinder has just out right been nerfed. I'll admit I'm no expert on Bard, but the consensus I'd seen was that Wanderer's Minuet was fairly crap to fulltime due to the cast time and loss of auto-attack, that extra 10% should be addressing that issue. Perhaps that 10% on all the other actions will make up for Sidewinder taking a 100 potency hit, though.
