Buff Bards or Riot

[Lemuria]

Here's the problem with these threads..you people (bards) are always jumping around running around shooting your arrows and never sitting still. This annoys me. You'd never see an archer do that (fantasy game or not)

Armies aside, many individual archers were significantly more mobile than you might think. There are historical records of archers who wielded arrows in their bow hand so they could fire them more quickly, as well as many with quivers set to the side to make them easier, and faster to draw. There are also countless tales of archers who could loose 3 arrows in mere seconds.

I have plenty of moves that are useless and that I don't use. So where are my massive complaint threads about removing these useless skills and replacing them with more useful ones? Oh wait...there are none! Why? Because we learn to adapt to the class and make it better with out those useless moves.

Actually, those exist. There have been plenty of people complaining about the rubbish BLM skills, because let's face it most of the BLM unique skills suck up to 50. That you haven't seen these threads says you simply haven't been looking or have seen it and are ignoring it to suit your arguments.

Back on topic however, none of this changes the fact that WM simply isn't that great. What we gain in weaponskill damage we lose in auto attack damage. It's only real use is for Empyreal Arrow and Sidewinder, our new strongest attacks. One of which on a 60s timer no less. Is this a good trade for losing mobility? Not really, no. And the instant we put up any other songs we effectively lose the benefits of our Wanderer's Minuet anyway.
