ShB Bard wishlists?

[Sylvain]

Mmm... I really don't like the idea of having a cast on BRD. Given how much the job focuses around its oGCD skills. It's why I hate even Foe Requiem's meagre 1.5s cast, it feels like an eternity.

Well what I had in mind would be akin to Perfect Pitch where you would only be able to use a fully charged a few times (with 5 charges instead of 3, I thought of perhaps 1-2 cast per song, 3 eventually if your DoT crit a lot with SCH + DRG buff)


Definitely not a fan of casting during the entire song either.

Then if it was just another skill proc that's oGCD it'd feel a bit too much like TWM...

I dunno... It's hard to think of something unique that would actually work with BRD's existing kit.

Yup, which is why I thought about a cast (which thematically speaking works well with repertoir "Skill Speed")

Perhaps something like procs give a Repertoire buff that causes your next AA to deal bonus damage?

Sticking with the theme of being a completely passive song as well as one that enhances AA's

But that's the thing I hope they change, the fact that it is a passive song. It is Litterally the boring song.

Anyway, I know most people wouldn't like the cast anyway x)

Ehh, sometimes it can be nice to have a boring song. I mean, between boss mechanics and BRD's natural chaoticness with oGCD's and Straighter Shot procs and both other songs having their extra oGCD usages on procs, having a bit of breathing room can be a nice change of pace.

Especially if Warden's Paean/Nature's Minne are adapted and/or new support skills are added to BRD so you can use the passive song to put some additional focus on to using these kinds of support skills as opposed to "OMG I KEEP PROCCING BLOODLETTER RESETS HELP!" kinds of ridiculous proc streaks to watch for.

To say nothing about how such a thing would help ease the learning of BRD for newbies. Having a song, especially an early one like AP (As opposed to TWM) that doesn't have procs to manage, that doesn't suck completely like current AP, would be nice.

Especially given that if necessary, you don't even have to use the "Passive Song" for a considerable amount of time anyway, given how realistically you main 2 songs and only use the 3rd as a filler between the others (Due to the way the durations/CD's align)

As a side note: I still would like bowmage, just I'd rather it come in the form of Sniper rather than BRD
