Buff Bards or Riot

[UltimateAoe2]

It's just the misconception that people think Bards should be on par with Melees.

While I understand how people feel about that, they shouldn't with their utility. Sure, you might have a damage penalty inflicted upon you while using Mage's Ballad or Army's Paeon, but you could reduce that by using WM and if you know you can stay there for a bit.


In all honesty, it's a slight DPS boost if used correctly. I'm saying you can weave it with your buffs. Wouldn't make sense to stay in WM while there are no buffs/they're on CD.
Auto's were nerfed a bit, and the barrage change really hurt somewhat. You could almost say AA's are almost useless to Bards now.


EDIT: To the person above me, ( I can't quote for some reason )
It's a DPS loss if you keep using it all the time.
It's a DPS loss if you're constantly moving on accident.
It's NOT a DPS loss if you know when/where to use it (IE: Raging Strikes | Hawk's Eye | Blood for Blood | Barrage is up).
Trust me, I've been playing bard since Closed Beta Phase 2. :-;.

You're not forced to use it. (besides, sidewinder is pretty stupid OP if you ask me.)

Not to be rude, but this shows the good/bad Bards in this patch.
