    There's a funny thing about Wanderer's Minuet and Gauss Barrel. You don't move as much as you think you do when you're not using it.

    I've had dozens of bards and machinists who absolutely refused to use WM or GB. Not one of them moved while attacking, and when they did, they stopped attacking anyway (they couldn't multitask I guess?).

    This. I have my BRD at level 59, about to be level 60, and you really don't move as much as they want you to believe. In AoE heavy fights such as the last boss of The Vault, the longest you're going to be running is about 2 seconds to remove the Holy Chain. Assuming a BRDs attack just finished charging and went off, that's a 1 second downtime...quite a few of them are complaining about that, and it's pretty ridiculous considering melee loses out on way more than that when moving away from a boss.

    Thats one perspective of bards who don't like WM. Others don't like how cast times (doesn't) interact with their 2.0 toolkit of oGCD resets and proc timing. MCH isn't so much on the same boat since they were designed with GB in mind and their animations/procs are designed around it, but it's still pretty damn disappointing because both BRD and MCH more-or-less play the same under the influence of WM/GB.
