Bard and how to fix it.

[Shurrikhan]

Can't reply to everything right now.

But just gonna point out to the person mentioning that Wide Volley is not useless.
It is (almost) useless. If you are using Wide Volley (160tp 110 potency) over Quick Nock (140tp 110 potency) you are straight up wasting tp for no gain.
The only time Wide Volley is useful is if you are in a situation where you are unable to position yourself for QN, which is pretty much never.

So yes WV falls pretty much in the same category as Warden's Paeon now.

But similarly, why should Quick Nock become totally useless? At absolute most WV should be 120 potency, giving it a p:c (potency per TP cost) of .75 compared to QN's .78 (already a truly negligible difference). Or better yet, 115 potency. Anything closer and people would just take QN off their bars completely now that the Bard AoE proc chain is dead. If you're looking for a Stone III kind of upgrade at level 50 (19% cost increase for 24% potency increase), just know that you'll likely never see QN again.

If you want to really see variation given, it'll probably come in the form of a faint nerf to each alongside a proc chance to make the other AoE free or cause bonus damage (the proc from QN for WV perhaps being locked out to when more than 10 yalms or QN-range from the target).
