    In 7.0, I could see Bard losing one and or both of its dots in favor of new skills. Removing one dot and Iron Jaws frees up button space for more complex things. Blast Shot just feels like a bad excuse to have 2 charges of Apex Arrow while still feeling like Bard got something new at all.

    Since the start of this game, Bard is the one job that changes the most.



    On the topic of Dancer. I like the job but there are times I wish I didn't have to do the dance steps. Yeah, I know it's the identity of the job and all that, but I just find the dance steps for tech step to be rather intrusive. Especially if you have a 2min buff window during mechanically heavy moments.

    I agree. I don't dislike the idea of dots as a mechanic, but they are completely mindless now, which kind of defeats the idea of dots in the first place - which is the babysit playstyle. Also the dots no longer proc'ing anything also devaluates them by a LOT.

    If they get to keep them, they must integrate them with something else, or else better let them go and put something more engaging instead.
