I've been playing bard since arr release and this total play style change sucks. I feel like I just wasted over 2 years of game play. Brd feels slow and clunky now. If I wanted to play a casting role I would have chosen one of the 5 available already. It makes me mad just thinking about all the time and money wasted for yoshi to trash my favorite job in one update. What was suppose to be fun playing the new expansion just ended up a waste of money. I don't care if they buff it to 40 percent damage increase. I played brd because of the play style not cast with a bow. I'll hold my breath for a little while but it's going to be a job swap or quit for me I have a feeling. Rant over.
