This new bard play style blows.

I like how a bunch of you cry about a thread, which only bumps the thread... lol... Clearly they annoy you when they are around. This is why you make sure they stay around!

Shhh, Common sense does not belong in game design, or in the forums.

And that would be why you have a casting stance you can't get used to or refuse to adapt to. Must suck, huh?

Honestly? I've gotten used to it already.

I had to shuffle my hotbars and I kept hitting Wind Bite instead of Heavy Shot for a little bit because of it, but I've got my rotation more or less standardized now. Making WM a 15 second toggle is great because you can dump your burst damage with it up at the start of a dodge heavy boss, then pop it off.

I guess I had less trouble adjusting since I had 50 BLM and SMN as well. The rhythm change was jarring since I have to wait a second before smacking an OCD action, but I'm getting better at it now.

All I can say is, the less bards there are because of WM and its changes, the more spots for me in a raid. Wheee!

Geez OP why do you have to be so snide to people who aren't even disagreeing with you? Calm the sass dude, you're just making your point less valid when you scream bloody murder at people who are trying to point you to other topics where people are agreeing with you.

I don't like WM mechanics either, but spamming the forums and calling riot isn't going to get you anywhere. At least WM and GB aren't an active detriment anymore- I think both Bard and Machinist could still use a lot of work, but I'm super happy that Machinists like me aren't being booted out of PF anymore at least. Just... if you wanna complain man, try to be constructive about it. When you rant and rave at people who are just trying to help you, no one is going to support your cause.

Machinists is a new Job... Bard is different, they play this Job for years already and suddenly SE make a drastic change, and what worst is that change is useless.

And yet some bards have said they are jumping ship to machinist just to play almost the same play style they are saying they hate because mch is not listed as 'Bard'... Goodbye logic, if it was ever there in the first place....

and OP, give it a rest please. making your own thread doesn't make that much of a difference, you're probably one of the people who scanned the other threads too and then tried to make yourselves look like a bigger bard complain population than you actually are.

If there's a legit problem then SE is looking into it, one thread should be enough to spam with concerns. No one needs x10 of the same topic just for attention seeking reasons. -.-

The stupid is strong with a lot of the people on these forum. Here let me make it so simple that a four year old could understand.

IT IS NOT FUN. Big words I know, but we do have google. Look it up if you are having trouble understanding.

Dude I just said literally three posts above this that you don't need to be so mean for literally no reason.

What you consider mean, and what I do seems to not be the same. People bring up pointless things, and have trouble reading. So I have to talk baby talk. If you don't like me just ignore me. I am not posting to be liked, or to win friends I don't need.

[Atlaworks]

Yeah but see you're in the minority. A "Greasy rickshaw" might mean one thing to me but it probably means something entirely different to literally everyone else.

It's not that I don't like you it's that I'm subtly telling you "People are going to report you to mods if you don't act civil".
