For me, it isn't about how much dps WM gives me, it's just basically that I played bard because of the mobility - it was fun, and really, it was the only job I liked. I dislike melee generally due to positionals, which I find annoying, not fun. And blm is just stuck in one spot. To be honest, I was so annoyed, I haven't even leveled the bard - I'm playing summoner now, but logging in less and less. I doubt we'll lose the WM mechanic, which is just sad, since the mobility was what made this class so fun for me.
