Bard - they broke my job

[Arrik]

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.

So you play w/ a Bard, have seen the casting times after the patch, and still had the nerve to say the casting times were gone? That's just silly. Glad to see you deleted those posts too.

If you don't like looking up info about a job, you should probably play it or talk to someone who has, because you clearly said casting times were gone. And you don't appear to be listening to your friend either.

Alexander patch notes would like to have a word with you.

Casting times are no more mate.

If damage is done in the same method (ranged with casting times) they should probably be balanced close together, much like all the melee are close together. Also, we are supposed to be true DPS, I queue DPS just like the rest of them. And that's really where my argument comes from. If I'm in the DPS role I should be balanced as such. If I'm not supposed to be, move me to the role I belong in.

Bug or working as intended - turn on WM, initiates the 15 second recast timer - cannot remove WM until the recast timer is done.
Any other buff you can right click the buff icon and remove it, not WM. The only way to remove WM is to wait 15 seconds for the recast to clear.
Turning on WM = 15 second commitment to it. I understand not being able to spam it on and off and on again, but a 15 second commitment to it seems like a problem.

This is hopefully a bug. I didn't try turning off WM during the expert I ran (wanted to see about where I was with the buffs) and logged off afterwards.
