We should have a "Lance mage", "Ninja Sword mage", "Fist mage"

[Humorless]

I played a lot of bard pre-3.0 and I'm loving MCH now. You SHOULD suck it up. Now that you can instantly apply WM you can turn it off between DoT applications etc if you want your so called "mobility". It's a good way to make skilled players stand out.


If you're not good enough to do that that's your problem, a class shouldn't be balanced around bad players.

This is actually the issue (and again I hate to harp on this, but MCH was designed with the stance in mind, BRD had it tacked on). We're forced into playing in WM, I can't stand the stance, but I'm good at it, and if I want to play my job to the fullest I have to stay in it the vast majority of the time.

It's bad design, that's all there is to it. You don't reward bad design by pretending it didn't happen. If they butchered another job I certainly wouldn't be telling the playerbase to shut up because my job got out unscathed so I couldn't care less about the job I don't play. Things don't get fixed like that, and if anything they'll think twice before doing this to another job, perhaps yours, even if they don't ever fix BRD.

I certainly wasn't in MNK threads posting about how all MNKs are whining about GL stacks. If there is an issue, it should be addressed.
