Change to Wanderer's Minuet

No more casting times~ Welcome back, bard. Seriously, I'm probably going back to playing bard again as a staple. I hated that everything but melee DPS or tanks was a caster.

Wonder what's being done with machinist? From the trailer, it looks like the turret is gone; it's certainly not visible. Summoner and scholar kept their companions visible, so I can only assume you no longer have a set-and-forget auto-attack lump of bolts.

The video only demo the new skills and revamped skills so Turrets are still there just that we have no new deploy turrets for 4.0 thus why no turrets were shown.

Summoner and Scholar had their summon shown because their new skills and mechanic depends on their pets being active.

We still got one new Turret being the Missle Turret which is a attack skill we see in the Skill Demo which cost 1 ammo to use.

Also as the Trailer showed WM is now a song and Bards must keep up their Song bar if they wish to access majority of their 3.0 and higher skills such as sidewinder and Iron Jaw thus now Bard can no longer ignore there Songs such as Ballad, Peon, and Foe if they wish to use any of their heavy hitting attacks.

Machinist now focus on a Heat System so maintain their heat levels from overheating will be vital to the Machinist gameplay style.

That's what I mean. You no longer have a physically deployed turret like you do now.

You misunderstand what I said.....

Bishop and Rook Turret are still in the game and still require to be deployed. They are not shown in the trailer because they are still kept the same and do not need to be demo in the trailer since they have not been changed in anyway.

Only thing shown in the Demo Trailer are New Skills, Revamped skills and how the new skills and revamp skills work. Any skills that have not been revamped, linked to the new skills or revamped skills, nor are new will not be shown in the demo trailer.

I know it's unclear at this point, but if WM now drains MP like other songs, they may never cast Ballad, Peon and Foe ever again. They won't have any MP left.

it looks more like you're supposed to rotate through every song to keep DPS up.

They may have removed the MP drain on all the songs due to adding a Timer for each song now.

The Song Mechanic seems to progress like a music starting at the beginning with the effects is weak then at the end the effects is strongest but once the Music Bar ends the Song ends as well thus bards may have to continue switching between each Song to maintain the Music bar.

Basically what it looks like in the trailer. It like listening to a music list with the first music starting in the beginning then at the end you switch to a new music to listen to.

I'm really excited that I can potentially play BRD again. I hated WM, leveled BRD to 60 TWICE in hopes of getting use to it and I just couldn't.

I"m not sure which sounds more annoying. I'm starting to think it would be better if they just boosted base damage and let the songs cut it as usual maybe a higher percentage if they really want to balance it and just kill WM. Keeping it the way it is might be less irritating.

a Bard playing songs is annoying?
