There's your answer to be honest...sigh. Brd's "rotation" generally involves weaving two ogcds in between heavy shot and the two dots. Now with a cast timer we can't do that. Or if we do, we clip into the next cast, loosing dps in the process. Or even worse, we lose procs thanks to being mid-cast. Latency only makes it worse.

Bard was not built from the ground up to account for cast timers, unlike MCH. So now we're not only fighting latency and the boss, but also the class's own mechanics.

And the problem will only be solved if:

A. SE does a COMPLETE redesign of bard so it's skills and traits work properly with Wanderer's Minuet.

B. Make Fire arrow and our procs able to be fired off while mid cast (naturally adjusting damage to account for the change)

Or C. scrap Wanderer's and go back to 2.0 bard (once more tweaking damage to account for the old playstyle)
