ShB bard has turned me into a ball of rage and depression

[Sparkthor]

I'm curious, why you yourself are getting so worked up the matter, especially considering it is a class you don't even main.

I cannot tell for Gallus, but i looked at the topic because to me, the Bard, prior to be a support class, is a DoT and proc class and what's why my friends are playing it (the other was being SUM). While i can get some complain about the utility loss, i'm a bit baffled when people claim all bard identity has been riped away. The core concept of DoT and proc class is still intact, and i could say it has been reinforced.
