    While I don't disagree that Sidewinder lacks a purpose, the idea should be is upgrading it into something that has a purpose not removing it entirely. Bard needs to be swimming in oGCD's. Heck honestly all 3 ranged should all be at the very top when it comes to APM, as thats where the justification for their mobility should lie in. We are already pressing blood letter less due to the change in resets and it being the weakest song. The last thing we should want is less oGCD's to press.

    For the thread at large I would say our best bets would be to have burst change to Refulgent but keep the same rules in place. Same with Laidons into Shadow (although personally I'd like to see Bard get a third step to that AOE rotation and Shadow become guaranteed to proc). I don't like the idea of the songs changing into the abilities they represent but honestly, having one button that changes the songs could be a great way to remove button bloat.

    But if we really wanna talk about button bloat lets remove some of the more useless abilities. Peloton, all 3 Graze abilities, Warden's Paean (as much as I'd love a rework, we're on 3 expansions of it being useless now). There are plenty of things we could cull from Bard without looking at the primary rotation abilities first.

    Please, no. Peloton is great for getting through towns and dungeons faster.
