In 4.0 can we please get rid of caster bars on physical ranged jobs?!

People are still griping about Wanderer's Minuet? Jesus Christ, what is this 3.0?

LOL I'm guessing that ability was not very well recieved by the playerbase

It's the one reason I don't play bard anymore and levelled ninja.

I kinda feel brd doesn't fit anywhere these days. if it's going to have cast times then it needs to have caster levels of dps.

in 2.0 it was shrugged off as lower dps because its a support job. but that's no longer true. half the jobs in the game bring as much support/utility if not more than a brd does. ninja for example can throw tp on party members. lower mobs resistances to slashing / everything. help manage enmity with shade walker and smokescreen. a ton more support than a bard has and can do all of that support with no loss of dps. by comparison best a bard can do is foe req as long as mp allows, any other songs cripple there dps even more than it already is.

personally would love nothing more than to see minuet get axed though. currently the only thing my bard ever sees is the occasional 50 roulette or crystal tower.

sidenote archer was one of the first jobs I levelled in 1.0 and I'd always hoped it would go the ranger path not the bard. oh well
