It feels a bit misplaced to give archers (and gunners too, btw) a cast time.

That said, I do like the concept of WM with the damage increase and certain skills you can only use when WM is turned on, and I've gotten used to the cast bar by now. But that doesn't mean I don't miss the instant casts bards used to have
Of course, I'm just saying it could be a lot worse. With stutter stepping it's not that big of a hit to mobility.

For aesthetics, I don't see it much as casting, more focusing to aim your shot. I think it's cool, and Empyral Arrow is <3.
