Bard - they broke my job

[SlyRoyale]

That is exactly the problem with Minuet, it shouldn't be comparable to machinist. They are different classes. Wanderer's Minuet should buff your songs to make BRD strategy more about weaving songs. Also, more songs obviously. Repurpose Warden's Paeon.

To make it fit with the theme of a minuet, any song played while the Wanderer's Minuet is active should have its MP cost reduced to slow down MP consumption. Either that, or have it also reduce the cost of certain actions (spells during Mage's Ballad, and weaponskills during Army's Paeon). Foe Requiem's MP drain could be slowed down with the ability active. Make it so that it could only be activated when singing a song and have it deactivate when a song is no longer being sung, and that might make for an interesting change for the ability and the job. The Warden's Paean would also be better off as an instant oGCD with a 90s recast.

Although, if the current Wanderer's Minuet is changed to affect songs, I wonder how much it would affect BRD DPS? I would assume that all skills that required you to have the ability active would no longer have that requirement, and auto-attacks would return on top of having Empyreal Arrow and Iron Jaws.
