Also, you should be moving, since they *don't* have a cast timer when attacking, and can do so whilst strafing your target...unlike a caster...which they are not... This isn't to say BRD/MCH don't have problems, or rather are lacking certain BRD/MCH qualities, but I digress...

But yes! Your other points are spot on. Remove grumpiness, and you'd be one of the most precise, well thought out, most practical posts on here.
Hi, not just by melee atacks but also by Boss AoEs and even (sometimes) by DOTs like the one Bismark does when ur on his back... is really bad.
