SB Bard Changes: Good or Bad? Thoughts?

To all lv70 BRDs, are you all saving barrage strictly for Refulgent Arrow or throwing it on Empyreal Arrow occasionally.

Empyreal is 230, Refulgent is 300. Using it on refulgent is a 30% damage increase. As long as you don't lose 1/3rd of your barrages over the course of the fight as a result it's almost definitely a dps gain to save for refulgent; it's not like the proc is that uncommon that you'll wait long.

I agree, when it comes off cd, I try not to hold it for more than 3-4 gcds.

I'm revisiting this; the number of times Im sitting there waiting for multiple empyreal cooldowns to come and go without a straight shot proc feels really, really bad.

I still think its probably true that it's worth waiting for a straighter shot proc to use barrage on refulgent, but has anyone done any math around it? It feels REAALLLY bad when you can go for >30 seconds easily with no procs. Let alone aoe!
