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

There is nothing particularly more engaging about 2.0 BRD compared to 3.0. All you do is press BL between every single GCD always. 3.0 BRD requires more thought in that regard. So you could call that more engaging in a way.

Or it's less engaging because I don't have to watch for straighter shot procs anymore, namely because I can't catch it without delaying my weaponskill. I'd disagree with it requiring more thought as well. But at this point we're literally splitting hairs and opinions. I don't like WM because it works against part of bard's core traits in 2.0, and because of that it play's extremely clumsy for me compared to MCH (who also has the same gameplay because of GB and WM being functionally the same)

I find MCH less fluid and more clumsy due to the 1,2,3 RNG of it. Not to mention I find Brd more engaging to play.

Your oGCD usage most definitely requires more thought and attention in 3.0 w/ Minuet. When we go back to 2.0 BRD style it's always buff + BL, Flaming Arrow + BL, Blunt Arrow + BL, Repelling Shot + BL. There's more of an oGCD priority system required when Minuet is up. I'm not going to argue which is better. But I like having to swap between the two and playing both styles in the new savage encounters as well as the primals. Granted it's about 95% Minuet uptime which it seems you're not a fan of. Guess there's always 4.0. Who knows what changes will come then?

yes and from what i am reading and what i have seen in raid videos of bard it is still pretty much like that only now its more cast a skill then BL then cast next skill o wait BL proced so BL again next skill cast no BL proc so straighter shot next skill BL ... again... so on and so forth
