I had to facepalm over someone who said "but all my attacks under WM seem so much bigger!" Yes, they are 20% bigger, and that multiplies when you pile on your damage buffs like Raging Strikes, Blood for Blood, etc.

What you're NOT seeing is the missing auto attacks that are no longer adding in an extra 400-500 damage every five or so seconds, which would also shoot up to 600+ under Raging Strikes and BFB.

That's why bards who don't parse are all like "wm is fine you're just bad" and the bards who do parse are like "uhhhhh"

It's now also a bit harder to sneak in the off GCD damage stuff with the cast time. A very good, totally lag free bard can still do it, but it is a heck of a lot harder with WM.
