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

This is my fault for not going into details what I mean.

What I mean is that we pay a price with some songs, and not doing as much dps as other range classes in the name of support dps. This support dps gets used very rarely outside of a good chunk of the game. Yet, we have a warrior class who can do both roles and pretty darn well at them both. Mind you I have seen some amazing numbers at times from bards so things are better in that sense with the hotfix.

From my perspective, that is unfair game design. HOWEVER I can understand why people feel it is not, and respect that. It leaves a nasty taste in my mouth that a expansion comes out, and we get a play style change, instead of better songs for groups.
