Right, my main character is bard my alt is summoner, so please tell me how I cant stand cast times. The issue I am having is before heaven's ward autoattacks made up for around 28% bard dps, Now I don't number crunch but somehow 28% in auto attacks vs 30% damage gained overall but wait what is this moving interrupts this somehow seems like a bad trade off. Next, the class doesn't flow as well now. What I mean is off global cooldowns could be weaved in so easily while dodging and making yourself a lane as to not place mechanics or what have you ontop of a party member. Now I feel like I have to not only watch my feet, watch my partner, watch every single off global cooldown and hope to free proc insta crit straight shot to even go in for a repelling shot that it boggles the mind. This is how you ruin a class. Let us face it already a weak dps except has always always shined in every final turn battle(5,9,13) being top or competing with the highest melee cause mechanics. Now if I cant necessarily dodge with easy and have to put more effort in watching every single little aspect of the fight, my cooldowns, off globals, dodging, casting, the people around me, healers mana bars, I feel although being a little biased here my dps numbers should make up for all this extra effort since if I wanted a multibillion step perfectly executed rotation I want overall dragoon dps at least. This is the question of does the work pay off and sadly it does not.
