    They've evolved our class. I'm sorry, I've only been playing a couple of months, but I'm pretty sure that if I played the same class for a couple of years, I'd be sick of it. Now, you have a fresh class to master. It feels like we're complaining about having to practice, and get better.
    Every other class gets something that adds onto what they can already do, or improve on their previous short comings. Bard (and BLM from what I hear) get something that changes their gameplay drastically from how it was level 50. The casting time alone is cumbersome when it comes to bloodletter procs and their 4 different oGCDs. It's frustrating to see my bloodletter reset twice in the middle of a heavy shot cast, and when I see straighter shot proc halfway into my next heavy shot. BLMs on the otherhand don't find a reason to fit in thunder because enochian is straight up more efficent use of their GCDs, but that's just hearsay on my end

    It's not even a matter of adapting because machinist with GB plays more-or-less the same in regards to cast times, having oGCD abilties and waiting on procs. I just happen to enjoy the latter more because their toolkit was designed around with it in mind (like their shots having shorter animations so you can see procs even within a 1-GCD window) and I'm not helplessly watch my procs go to waste because it happened half way into my .75 second cast.

    Could they have not added abilities to bard that expanded upon their gameplay from 2.0, and keep machinist the way it is? The way I see it, it's a bard trying to do what machinist does, but stumbling because the class originally was not designed with cast times in mind, causing clipping with their procs. I can't even come up with examples to get my point across toward other classes because none of them plays like Bard to make a reasonable comparison to how they've changed.
