Please let BRDs use Empyrean Arrow and Iron Jaws outside of Wanderer's Minuet

I dunno about that. I still find BRD to be pretty fast-paced. The cast timers create the illusion of the job being "slower" while it's actually getting faster. With faster GCDs thanks to the increasing skill speed we're getting from our gear, it may no longer be beneficial for us to weave in two cooldowns. With one of my gear sets, I have 592 skill speed, which gives me a 2.41s recast on my GCD and a 1.44s cast timer on weaponskills. Previously, people recommended having a 2.47s GCD recast to weave in two abilities in-between and still have a bit of breathing room to not clip into our GCD. With the latest changes BRD has received, this may no longer be viable but it is not that job-breaking of an issue. All it means we just have to weave in abilities one at a time.

The "issue" with Straight Shot is more of an exploit if you ask me. Even if you do get a proc and end up casting the weaponskill, you can still move without having the cast interrupted. On top of that, you still have the proc ready and if you have Empyreal Arrow ready to go then that's some extra DPS right there.

While 2.0's BRD was fun, 3.0 is still fast-paced. The cast timers just make us think it feels slow.

Please try to understand issues before you try to say they don't exist.

They don't, really, which is why I was being a complete asshole in my post. Higher crit means more damage and extra chances for River of Blood to kick in. Does that mean there's more of a chance to miss a reset? Yes. Is it free damage when we use them? Yes. It offsets itself. As for our oGCDs, we just have to weave them in one at a time. Nothing difficult about that at all. Just remember your priority system and you'll be fine.

And Straighter Shot being an issue? Please. Again, as I've previously mentioned in this post, I consider it to be more of an exploit since it allows you to move around without having your cast interrupted. There's also the fact that you still have Straighter Shot ready to use, so it's more of a boon than a bane especially when Empyreal Arrow is ready.

If you still think there are issues, you are welcome to cry about them ad nauseam. Just don't try to make mountains out of molehills and actually take time to know what you're talking about, okay?
