yup , but the WM dmg boost was a "lie"

let me explain

in 2.0 brd was behind melees by 20%~ (more or less, varied from encounter to encounter but just random number)

we all agree that its ok that brd did less , because it was ranged , had songs and could move and dps at the same time

at the time i advocated for a ranger or sniper or w/e stance that boosted dmg in exchange for movement or unable to sing songs (u gotta give something for more power!)

we got WM , and SE said , that we would give up movility in exchange for dmg , and yeah he didnt lie.... but what he didnt said was that he would buff the other dps way more...

and here we are... BRD is still doing 20%~ less dmg than melees , same as 2.0 and thats ok , BUT WE HAVE CASTING TIMES NOW..... is like a devil pact , we didnt read the little text....

so please TELL ME , what BRD gained in HW? it doesnt feel fair , other dps got utilty and a more fun gameplay and lots of QOL changes....

we gained casting bars.
