I am cutting you some slack but not dismissing it as you not lvling the Job, it's something the wiki's could have told you though if you had bothered. And not everyone hates WM, a lot of us hate being considered second rate DPS because "muh support" or "muh mobility" when other threads clearly show that's a crock or it's being taken away somewhat with WM. I will admit, some do just want to delete WM from the game, and I kinda argued with one pages back. But, I think today's patch clearly shows that's not the direction SE has for the Job.
Dismissing it ? I spent most of the afternoon clearing Alex floors with a friend that plays BRD. How could I not know about casting times ? That's the only thing he speaks about all day since 3.0 . . .

But hey, sure, I'll go check a wiki for more info about the job. Seems very useful, since I can't possibly know why you hate so much the fact that you gained more dps on a class that you consider "subpar dps" and yearn for ... more dps ... to be considered a ... true dps !

Oh well ... why do I bother ? If it's not that, you guys will whine about something else.

Not to mention that the overall uptime of BRD dps and now that new dps stance, can easily be top DPS on fights that rely on aoe dodging / being kept far away for a period of time.
