Bard - they broke my job

[Smeggles]

So they still didnt address the issues that actually matter.... the playstyle is STILL blackmage, we STILL cant weave 2xoGCD, we now have to stance dance on movement (yaaaaaaaay /sarcasm) and on top of that they give us 2 nerfs!?!?!

Its like they dont understand what the problem with the class is.

At this point, now that Sidewinder and EA have been nerfed, couldn't they fix all these playstyle shift complaints by simply allowing you to use everything without WM? Admittedly, if Sidewinder and EA were left as they were, allowing their use outside WM would have probably been a bit OP, but now that they've been reduced while WM has been made more powerful, the balance between either playstyle seems perfect. Yet we're still forced into using WM if we want most of BRD's shiny new toys.

Different strokes, I see this as a new opportunity. Are your oGCDs getting too much to handle? Take WM off, weave them, and throw back WM. With an instant cast stance there are plenty of applications that we can benefit from, and I'm excited for that. That being said, the only thing I wanted from Square was fluidity of our moves and more damage. Fortunately, the latter is hopefully there, and possibly the former.

Its not that they are too much to handle. its that there are frequent situations where you have no opportunity to use bl and some situations where using bl will fuck your rotation and cause you to drop dots. Theres no way to mitigate this by dropping minuet because #1 bloodletter procs are completely random and cannot be planned for and #1 minuet's stancechange is itself an ogcd that needs to be weaved thus taking the spot of one of the ogcds you need to weave in a less than 3 second period to use bl in time.

People who think like you are clearly just too egocentrical to understand...this isn't a problem to everyone, only people who think like you. Minuet's concept is literally the only reason I came back to bard.

You can cry about this all you want, they aren't changing it back. Change classes, suck it up or quit.

Or just keep the stance off and be a crappy bard, lol. Your choice really.

Skip the psychology bullshit your statement works just the same in reverse

you just dont get what people are saying. personally i've adjusted to the new playstyle.. the point is this however, if players wanted to be a caster, they would have been a blm from day 1. they are fine with less damage than other jobs, but they want to be able to run around kite shit and not have to worry as much about lag spikes (tbh bard was very very lag friendly in 2.x)
