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

I said that the class became slower-paced, reducing its complexity.

Slower? Sure, we now have a whole 1.5 seconds to think about what to do next. Reduced complexity? Dont think so. We have to actually think about moving now... when to turn off WM or just take the dps hit and move, some are even considering using Feint now, when to finish the cast or get out of AoE, EA itself throws an interesting little twist to the whole rotation since its both a cast and an oGCD. Before it was all just GCD, one or two oGCD's, keep DoTs up, and repeat. Now we got all that and more, so id say we're at least somewhat more complex.

At no point did I make a complaint about the DPS now being lower.

So then what exactly is the point in bringing up the whole 1 oGCD vs 2 oGCD if not DPS? Fine we only have time for one oGCD now because of cast times ... so what? Our DPS is the same or better in comparison. If its not related to DPS then why is that point brought up every single time?

those of all Bards.
