True, by no means take these as serious numbers (I literally just did it in my head right now, probably some glaring error I'm missing), but the additional DoT potency alone should more than make up for the hit Sidewinder took. Assuming they never drop thanks to Iron Jaws (which I'm not too sure on the workings off), that additional 10% should account for an additional 140 potency in tics from DoTs over 60 seconds (the recast for Sidewinder). That isn't even accounting for other skills in a Bards rotation, just the additional damage from two DoTs which (I assume) should be applied with Wanderer's Minuet and always kept up with Wanderer's Minuet. There is also 3~4 Iron Jaws in there, which should add a total of 30~40 additional, not to mention the initial applying of DoTs offering a whooping 16 more. Not going to bother factoring in Heavy Shot/etc., unless I've completely misunderstood how DoTs work (1 tic/3s?) and/or Iron Jaws, that additional potency at least makes up for Sidewinders nerf and then some, whether that is actually true (again, just worked out quickly and I'm no Bard) and anything extra can push Bard past Tank DPS, I'll leave to someone else.

Anyway, off to actually play 3.01, rather than talk about it~

I swear some of the stuff you can read on these forums is so stupid it slowly dissolves your brain / gives you cancer.
I honestly don't know what's worse- the fact you even think this is a nerf, or the fact there are people who agree with you and have liked your post.

As a slow player, I just don't expect to get into raids when they're first released. The staggering of content exists to keep people who NEED to be on the EDGE satisfied, not me.

I feel like se is pushing me out of the game.

Cant wait to test my Bard and want to see the result, if the outcome is good then I will level MCH

Getting 170 is easy and quick. I got ilv170 the first day I hit 60. lol.

Only the chest, pants and weapon cost above 215 tomes. You get 80 tomes from completing the new level 60 dungeons, then a 40(iirc) tome bonus if someone is new. On top of that, you can also do expert for that tome bonus. If you are in a FC, you can run dungeons with your friends who recently hit 60 to shovel in those delicious tome bonus'.

I hate inconsiderate people. Not everybody has what you have and can achieve things the same manner you have for whatever their reasons are….
