We should have a "Lance mage", "Ninja Sword mage", "Fist mage"

[SovereignAegis]

As in we should add Wanderer's Minuet to every DPS class.

Why? Because then a lot of these people saying Bard is fine would realize it's not okay... and then understand the frustration that Bard's are facing, there are too many DRG, MNK, NIN saying that Bards should suck it up.

"But that will never happen that'd change my class completely"

AHA! Just the same as Bard's entire whimsical playstyle was thrown upside down.


Wanderer's Minuet wrecked everything about the Bard's playstyle, from weaving off-GCD abilities through GCD abilities and mobility to keep up with their healers and give them mana. Do you realize how horribly hard it is in a challenging fight to keep up with a WHM kiting AoE's/other mechanics with a cast timer? Obviously not, so let me explain. IT IS A FLAT OUT DPS LOSS OF CATACLYSMIC LEVELS.

Bard feels like a Black Mage, spamming cast times nonstop in a fight. It does not feel anything close to how Bard did before. It isn't the job we all opted to play! If we wanted to play BLM we would bloody well play BLM.

I feel like everyone who says Bards should suck it up should have their melee DPS get cast times just to see how jarringly differently it plays. It feels COMPLETELY different.


*Oh and you lose auto attacks too.

*Oh yes let me not forget that the majority of your 50+ skills are also linked directly to this ability and inaccessible outside of it.
