    Its been argued in a bunch of bard threads, but I still feel WM needs some extra tweaking to make up for the reduced mobility.
    BRD's utilities dont make it THAT special that it still has to be roughly 15-20% less dmg than every other DPS class.

    SMN's move around just as much as BRD's do now and yet their dps output is on par and sometimes better than other DPS classes. Once SMN's dots are cast they have just as much freedom to move as a bard with or without Wanderer's Minuet and still pull decent numbers. (There's a thread regarding WM's DPS gains vs loss and I'll link it later if I can find it again)

    Even at 60 I still see a lot of other bards who refuse to use WM because the DPS loss and gain from the ability isn't enough to warrant their lost mobility. As much as this bothers me because Ive learned to use WM, I cant blame other bards for not using it. If I knew I wouldn't get yelled at for it, I'd likely never use it either. It just doesnt FEEL worth it yet. One of the easiest ways I can see to fix the issue with WM, is to remove its Recast timer or shorten it to a 3-5second recast. This would allow Bard's to stance dance more effectively and push out better numbers and still allow us our mobility when we need/want it.
