Why do people hate Bards so much??

[Hyrist]

You are either a troll or clueless, you have the ability that adds cast times, that is all the hate is aimed at. And the WHM is used in game for a lot of menus and is the common abbreviation for white mage. WM is thus free to be an abbreviation of Wanders Minute.

Please, Charge... Charge time. Is unaffected by Silence. I hate the 'Cast Bar' graphic. It's bloody inaccurate. The charge time does not even match up to the Cast Times on GCD spells as either. They really should do more to differentiate the two visually.

And yes, there's a highly vocal minority on these boards and a bunch of people who are sick of the discussion. Slick, I'm sorry to inform you but since you were on last the toxicity of the boards has jumped up about threefold. It's probably not going to get better as things progress, but it will at least cool off once the 'new' on the Expansion wears off and those who cannot adapt to Heavensward leave out.

If you want, you could turn the Progress Bar off in the HUD.
