I dont get all the Bard hatred..

[Aiselia]

Having to draw your bow before firing breaks people's immersion.

This would be wittier if you actually did.

No, you stand there with your hand on an arrow in your quiver for 1.5 seconds and then whip it out and shoot it exactly like always.

It's less "drawing your bow" and more "thinking for a bit about if you really want to shoot that arrow".

Next expansion, Bards will all be pacifists doing nothing but playing songs because after all that consideration, they realized they really didn't want to shoot that arrow.

That's what you're whining about now? Try BLM or MCH.

Sorry, are you trying to justify bad design with more bad design?
