Wanderer’s Minuet, Gauss Barrel and Positive Gameplay Additions

Definitely would of been beneficial if SE went out of their way to make you feel powerful with the new stance and make it more welcoming. Rather it be during the quest or other means. It feels like a crutch when it is introduced to you for the first time. Giving that sense of power will make someone go "Wow I really want to keep this stance on." At best the stance at lv.52 causes confusion for most. Like I said, GB/WM I believe are great ideas and I love how it is set up on MCH, but SE just threw it at people and told them you got to do it this way now.

I had to spend a couple hours on the training dummy when I got Gauss Barrel, getting used to the timing. I nearly left the class at level 52, I was so frustrated by the jarring shift.

I got use to it quick on MCH. For BRD, it was really awkward and felt like I had to learn the job over again. Most likely because I knew how BRD played for a long time before the change. MCH was new so anything new thrown at me I took it in better.

The leveling process though, I got both MCH and BRD to 60 before they did the change to WM/GB. So I had them off while leveling.

MCH are in a good spot for the most part with how it is set up, maybe some QoL changes, but nothing major needed. BRD is the job that could use a real overhaul on it's abilities and how it works with WM. At best it feels clunky and SE needs to find a way to make it feel more natural instead of tacked on. BRD is by no means inferior or superior to MCH DPS wise, but MCH is definitely the more fun job. I wouldn't mind switching back to BRD however if they made some good changes to it.

I feel like a broken record, I have said this more times than I should.

You and me both. I could not tolerate leveling BRD after MCH until 3.05 made changes to WM/GB. It was an absolute joke that it was still a dps loss at level 60 on average. And even before that I just had it off for the entire leveling experience, having no access to new skills from 52 and onward. It wasn't too much of a biggie on MCH considering I wanted to level that up first instead of BRD, but ugh.

At this point I'd just like for them to play differently and function properly so I can actually make a choice of "do I want to play BRD or MCH tonight"
