    I just wanted it to be more consistent, a combo would be an easy way to do it. I also realize that a good amount of Bard players like the proc system, so another suggestion I made in the replies was to have the proc rates adjust with the number of DoTs up. Valence also expanded upon it as well
    My main problem with barrage not proccing shadowbite is that unlike in the previous iterations of Bard where barrage didn't proc RA automatically either, you still had a substitute with Empyreal Arrow and whatnot. I liked the rng of this even though I can also feel it was frustrating when not just getting your proc (especially with so low proc rates), but the current issue with Shadowbite not being automatically proced from Barrage is that the Barrage buff gets completely wasted because there is NO AoE substitute as far as I know. It doesn't proc on Ladon/QuickNock, which means you have to actually wait to get a proc, and if you don't, then you just sit on your barrage because you can't use it. It makes it go completely go out of buffs very fast and that's just... not a great design.

    I could definitely get behind increasing the proc rates. They could make it an additional 10% while under Standard Step and increase it to 15% while under Technical Step
    The main problem I could see happening especially in full parties in raids under heavy raid buffs, is that currently it almost procs TOO much. Not the procs in themselves, they're fine, but you have a lot of bursts with DNC during Technical and Devilment where half your burst is just spamming Sabre Dance not to overcap the gauge. I generally don't have a problem with the proc rate under burst because most of the time I can barely spend them all already, and when I can, it just feels fine. It's extremely rare that I'm out of procs before the end of the burst...

    I think they also somewhat made it more bearable with the basic combo you get that nets you a 100% rate on the second step of it, which really is already something else than just spamming 1 all the time like bard under Army's with not much else to do besides the occasional Empyrean Arrow...

    I mean, just bring back ammo MCH yoshi, I beg of you. Why you gave it to RDM I have no idea, and why you removed it from MCH, I have even less a clue.
