Bard's 6.1 changes - why bother?

Oh I know, I was implying bloodletter would be exclusive to M's Ballad, maybe to make each song feel more different from each other.
It is just idle thoughts really. If there is actually an action that needs either removal or redevelopment, it is Sidewinder. It is just very boring after it lost its conditionality, even if you ought to have never dropped the dot upkeeps.

I’d rather not see Mage’s lock BL usage to just it. Having it lower the CD for more frequent usage is enough, in my opinion.

I would rather see Sidewinder return to scaling off of the DoTs. Maybe it wasn’t the most interesting interaction, but at least it was an interaction. That the DoTs are so meaningless now and have no interactivity with the toolkit makes me worry they will be cut in 7.0, and I really don’t want that. The job is still not the BRD I loved in the past, and I just don’t want to see it continued to be stripped down.

There would just be nothing left really if they DoTs were removed. Keeping track of the timers while smashing away Shots and Arrows atleast keeps the brain cells atleast somewhat active.
Then again, I never expected 6.0 SMN to happen either...
