Bards - Help me understand

[Reinha]

When paired with these Bards, the dungeons go much slower.

My question is, if they are not going to be moving, why on earth are they not using something that is a damage increase? I feel like I am missing something, please help me understand.

Side Note: I have been paired with some amazing Bards using their full toolkit and seen how fast we can blast through the dungeon.

You are a healer, so I'll try to make you understand by relating this to a healer's toolkit. Let's flip it around:

When paired with these healers who don't use dps skills, the dungeons go much slower.

My question is, if they are not going to be healing with every global cooldown, why on earth are they not using something that is a damage increase? I feel like I am missing something, please help me understand.

I'm not trying to argue whether it's right or wrong for a healer to refuse to use their dps skills in safe moments. But all of your points can be used to argue for healers dps'ing. It's a very simple thing: some people are comfortable with it and some people are not. SayuriHime, I hope this clarifies it for you. These players might have the skill for it or they might not, but the most important part about this game is having fun. In dungeons it's not a big deal if bards use WM or not, because as long as the group doesn't meet boss berserk or dungeon time limit they are doing enough damage. People who use random matchmaking tools, please be kind to your fellow player and don't push your standards down their throat. That's what statics and party finder are for.

Ok so for you, the cast bar is a strange feeling. No longer having the instant gratification of your abilities makes the job less fun to play. Thank you for your honesty!

Honestly that kind of snarkiness is uncalled for. I could reply "Ok so for you, the going a bit slower in a dungeon is a strange feeling. No longer having the instant gratification of seeing the mobs melt makes the dungeon less fun to play. Thank you for your honesty!" If you like being obnoxious and expect perfection from everyone, go play with premades.

I want to apologize if I came across snarky, I certainly didn't mean too. I was expressing understand for the person's position.

I want to add that I am not advocating for Wanderer's Minuet being a good addition the Bards tool kit. I am saying that right now, it is a reality for the class until SE decides to change it.
