Remove Cast Time for Wanderer's Minuet

[Wishles]

Starting this petition to remove cast time or a significant reduction for Wanderer's Minuet. The skill should be seriously reconsidered as it is almost useless or a significant dps drop to recast and switch during combat. Rather, Wanderer's Minuet should function more like Cleric's Stance with a cooldown but no cast time to use. This would still raise the skill ceiling for bards but add versatility in swapping between Wanderer's Minuet and a more mobile combat style without it.

I think there's a lot of potential with the skill. I recognize the dps increase that it gives, but the skill needs some fixes (meaning the bug where you cannot attack for a few seconds too) which will raise its efficiency and actually change how bards can be played in 3.0.

(On the side, Keeper's Paeon should also be looked at since I'm pretty sure nobody uses it with its also long cast time and single target.)

[FateAudax]

I agree with this suggestion.

[AskaRay]

This is the only issue I have with it so far, so yeah, I'd agree with a removal or a shortening of it.

Especially since, you're not singing really...more like humming to yourself. Or it's like you have a song stuck in your head.

Saw this coming....and I think I'm out of popcorn. Great. =/

I would honestly rather they let all abilities be used outside of WM. and get rid of it. It's a horrible idea, and takes away that which made bards different from other DPS, their mobility. If I wanted to be a turret, i'd be a machinist or a black mage.

[Snowaeth]

It would fix a part of the problem.

Then there's still the plenty of other problems, like our many buffs each eating into our gcd's, repelling shot being unusuable and wasting 80 potency which should be put somewhere else instead, Bloodletter Proc's not being spammable anymore, Straighter Shot procs combined with that being horrible to use, Wanderers Minuet removing our auto attacks but not giving us enough in return, quad Barrage which used to give us 800potency (2x4x100p) (2x3x100=600 potency if you couldn't do quad) being nerfed into (at best when used on E. Arrow) 480 potency and just the general feel of the class being drastically changed.

And I forgot to mention. We were already considered the lowest dps class. And now where the other classes gained buffs the gap between them and us became even larger.
Where the warriors which could keep up/outdps an average bard (they'r a tank...) can deal even more dmg now.

Yeah 100% agree with you after seeing a Drk put up 900 single target DPS in DPS stance on a boss in fractal.

Yeah 100% agree with you after seeing a Drk put up 900 single target DPS in DPS stance on a boss in fractal.

and this is the problem people are seeing but there are few nay sayers.

They should make it so barrage goes back to the way it was outside of WM at the very least. and let IJ also be usable outside of WM. It's so freaking useful, it makes me hurt on the inside that i have to be in WM to use it.

I wonder if it's worth to cancel WM after initial opener, but reactivate in order to use IJ -> EA then cancel.

[Wishles]

EA is a beautiful skill yet unavailable to everyone who "chooses" to play without WM. I hope they change their mind.
