RIP Bard

[CGMidlander]

This is awesome. One of the main things that made me stray away from endgame BRD is how straightforward it is. There was no resource to manage or anything. This is just the kind of mechanic that makes me interested in playing again.

I almost feel like BRD should have worked that way to begin with. It's sort of like a "Focus" stance. It'd make sense for a ranged to be way more effective when, you know, it doesn't have to run around.

Straight Shot is a damage buff that needs to be kept up, much like Huton, Heavy Thrust, Maim, Greased Lightning...etc.

Bards have 2 dots that need to be kept up, just like the melee DPS classes.

Bards also have to Invigorate like the melee DPS classes.

What resource management does Bard lack?
