Bard - they broke my job

[Geardagas]

Yeah this one seems like a bust.

The whole point of making a bard is the ability to move around while playing. Adding a cast time to everything - one might as well just be playing a Thaumaturge now.

This is a Job-killing change. It makes the point of taking this job over another ranged DPS... pointless.

Bard is much funner and more engaging and thoughtful now than it was in 2.x, in my opinion. The job wasn't killed, it was vastly improved. Comparing us to a thaumaturge says "i don't know what i'm talking about". Saying that you can no longer move around while playing says "I don't know what i'm talking about". And stating what you think the purpose of playing bard is as if it applies to everyone is ridiculous. I play because it has an engaging rotation with a heavy dose of support thrown in.

There are barely any times that I need to move around to the point that the cast times become an issue. Ravana, Waukkeon, A3...that's just about it. I turn WM off for a bit, then turn it right back on...whoop dee doo. What would you do without WM, do your rotation while running in circles pointlessly? Oh darn, you actually have to pay attention to where you're standing now! The horror!

You know, you can just drop WM when you need to move.

You stop with that sense-making, mister! We need to complain!
