So you want to master Bard? 3.5

One small change though, which doesn't affect the general math but increases the number of corner cases - you no longer need to be facing the enemy to shoot it with AAs.

This means that, for instance, something like toggling WM while running to outer-edge Optical Sights, is at least plausible (I wouldn't necessarily say optimal) when it would previously been tricky at best to maintain the necessary facing direction while relocating. I think you'd need to be hard-locked into requiring 2+ Feints to consider it though.

From patch 3.4 notes:

Auto-attack will continue to damage targets in melee range regardless of the direction the player is facing.

And I'm not sure I understand OP's post - aren't you get screwed the moment you have a BL proc while your WM is off?

Okay so I tested this by attacking the dummy in my yard and then turning my back.... AAs were totally going off, but seeing that wording, it occurs to me that I may have been just inside melee range. Will check again later.

EDIT: Nope, works from 20y way. Facing directly away from the dummy, still pewpews. Feel free to test yourself.

Ok, yeah, this was the first thread that I openned in the forum (in fact this was my first post) so I'm really sorry for the messy post.
By the way, is there a way to change post title?
Sorry if it's misleading. And yeah, I play the game only since the end of patch 3.4, but I'm so invested in BRD (And MCH too now) so I didn't know this was already tested.
I also admit, the macro itself is poorly thought too.

Actually there are a couple more things that I wanted to discuss. It is regarding buff alignment and optimal Skill Speed.
But I guess, I'll have to do a little bit more research and data collection before posting it to make it fool-proof.

You aight dude. Just be sure and think out the Title of your post. Maybe just add a "how do I" in front.

I know stance toggling is a thing with mch but brd?, not sure about this.

OP, you inspired me with your panache.
