RIP Bard

And then instantly went to the forums and made a complain thread. Way to go.

Welcome to the Forum where logic isn't present about 70% of the time.

No I didn't, lol. I just got up and watched the job skill video and was horrified when I saw a delay on Windbite and Poison Shot.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Yea, if you paid attention to the whole live letter what they did was add a reason for range DPS to stand still and not run like chickens with their heads cut off.

Some of us do like to run around in an organised way that others don't understand the allure til they try and then understand.

So, assumptions.

Yep. You're dumb.

Yes, those are CASTING TIMES on our abilities...

Wanderer's Minuet is what was used, this allows charging times on the skills for more damage iirc.
It's a self-buff song. You cannot move, you stay still and charge.
That's a more RIP bard lol.

Good, sick of seeing them run around like headless chickens.

Done any numbers yet? Does the charge time make it worth losing the dps you could be doing while you're charging up?

What? This statement makes zero sense lol. Lemme explain it for you;

1.5 second cast time.
2.5 second global recast.
When instant, you fire the shot immediately, then wait 2.5 seconds to fire a new shot.
When not instant, you cast for 1.5 seconds, deal your damage and then wait 1 second to fire a new shot.
In a 2.5 second period, you may only use ONE skill anyway. Off globals not counted, but you can fire them before/after the cast anyways.

The only thing you lose is Auto Attack, which the flat 20% buff to *all* your abilities more than makes up for and the WM/GB abilities hit like trucks compared to previous skills without the change ...
