Remove Cast Time for Wanderer's Minuet

[Lyaha]

They shouldn't change the entire play-style of a class/job in the first place.

I'm in the minority and actually like Minuet, however, I do agree about it being a dps loss. I think turning it into a 'toggle' like Cleric Stance/Defiance/Fists of Fire etc. really wouldn't help that much. Bard needs further tweaking. Seems like Square was so worried about making Bard op'd....they under powered it in the process.

Just remove Wanderer's Minuet altogether.

You guys are turning off minuet when you need to move, right?

No were wombling around wondering why we cant do anything....what do you think?

[Trespar]

Alter ranged basic attacks to not fire when moving.

This will encourage BRDs to "turret", but they will still be able to do most of their dps while on the move, retaining most of their mobility and the general spirit of the class.
But at the same time lowering mobility so they can't just run around all the time and do max dps.

I believe this to be a very reasonable compromise.

Change WM into a new supportive song.

I have played bard since day 1 and mained it in coil from T1-T13 -- The thing that always made bard fun was the mobility. This meant while the Monk or melee stand around beating up the mob and the blm or smn stand there spamming fire or bane us bards had to run around, do critical mechanics to make sure the raid survived and also were able to put up some modest DPS. Now if you use WM you cant do those mechanics ... well technically you can, and groups will still make bards do it since casters do more dps, but our dps will drop substantially. Bards and MCH will be persecuted for "not enough dps" Basically when its time to burn you have WM up and when its time to run around and do all the other stuff people makes bard do, your essentially playing 2.x bard without the same Barrage...

If you ask me this is garbage. A lot of casters have complained over the past 2 years about how they have no mobility. So they decided to stick a big ole' bat up our **SE

They did that to pretty much every job by giving them 5 new skills. If you don't like the new playstyle, just take those skills off your hotbar and forget they exist.

WN just needs a shorter cast time and/or a larger damage increase.

[Warlyx]

both MCH and BRD need a look with the stances , they need to boost the dmg a lot to make it worth it.

[Crazypluto]

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