    I have a ton of fun playing bard. It's very mobile and feels snappy and quick. You feel light on your feet as you are not weighed down by cast times or repetitive rotations. You also have an extra responsibility of singing the right song at the right time, so you get to feel supportive almost like a healer.

    It seems a bit better with today's changes. Now it appears that it's a combination of mobility and occasional bouts of standing still and bursting damage.

    I am level 52 exactly, actually and I haven't touched Wanderers Minuet once. I must do it sometime, it just sounds so unappealing... As long as playing bard with WM turned off is acceptable, I figure it can be as mobile as it ever was.

    It no longer is, the latest changes punish those who keep it off with quite substantial DPS loss. The trade off between breaking a single cast timer on a skill to move out the way of one AoE vs potentially 15 second lockout of the % damage increase from WM while waiting on it's cooldown to finish. It can have a severe impact on overall DPS now in a worst case scenario while a minor impact if get lucky with the amount of dodging being required enough to make keeping it off for 15 seconds worth it.

    Because..? You want to randomly hit A and D while attacking and call it "mobility"? You can move halfway through WM casts and the skill will go off. In some ways mobility is even less of a concern because you don't have to face the boss 100% of the time for autoattacks.
