BARD NERF, does it have to be done by removing abilities???

1) Increase animation lock

I believe you mean add it, not increase it. You can't increase something that doesn't exist. As you said:

Bard can be spamming Heavy Shot, have Bloodletter, Straighter Shot and Misery's End proc at the same time and get all three out barely halfway into eachother's animations

Which just goes to show that there is no lock.
