Bard and Wanderer's Minuet use it

[Felessan]

Umm. Excuse me? I absolutely have that right. And what you're talking about isn't "skill level" it's intentionally playing subpar. I can deal with low skill level.

Actually WM can be attributed into the same category of low skill. Because to actually get benefit from it - you need to train a bit, which is the same as training overall skill level.
On other hands it really depends on type of content and expected skill/efforts from party members. If it is a raid - it is one story, if it is a dungeon party - it is another story.WM is less comfortable way of playing and why I should play with it if I can outdps 2/3 dd in dungeons even without it? You can't really blame bard for not put extra efforts when most casual dps don't want to put their efforts to learn their job just a little.

A Bard not using it gets their auto-attacks, which effectively makes up for the damage loss

No, autoattack does not makes up for new minuet.
