I chose BRD for swift gameplay, if I wanted to cast I would have chosen a Mage.

I find it funny that everyone uses the same crap argument about mobility. What if I told you that not every BRD used to run all around the place, but loved the mobility because of fights like Ravana EX, Titan EX or T13. Also I loved to do bluefire in T12, because I could. Same goes for kiting Renauds in T7 etc. You think I will bother to do anything like that anymore? Think again..

BRD always was the mobile class that supported people, did moving mechanics and had the lowest DPS for me. Now the lowest DPS is just plain unbalanced sh*t.
Not talking about the reality that in fights like Ravana EX I still do much more DPS without WM turned at all compared to BRDs who turn it on just for non-movement phases. Seems like the 30% buff with potency nerf of some skills and still no ability to weave off GCD skills like a boss was really a nice fix for BRD.

In my opinion...What they should of done was gave us more SUPPORT SKILLS.
IE. A Haste song. The Damage buff song, that shield song we have...

This, so much this. I was so looking forward to some new buffs and support abilities and all we got is "stoneskin" with such long cast time that it is not even usable. I have not used it a single time yet (finished Ravana and Alex a couple times, so idk where else I could use it) and I have not seen any BRD use it yet.
