Bards Should WM Toggle For DPS During Mechanics!!

Snip.

Gauss Barrel is a tad different, and its clear that it was especially designed for MCH with all the procs allowing for free movement. So far BRDs only get either Straighter Shot procs (which most of the time don't even work and cause a cast regardless, kinda annoying and drains tp), or to crossclass feint and use that with WM. Its clear the devs want BRDs to be in WM as much as possible, but yes, for Neverreap I would suggest taking it off during the add phase. In Alexander you can keep it on pretty much 100%, since there's nothing remotely challenging to dodge like Tornados that seem to lock on to you and track your movement.

I don't toggle GB. In all honesty you don't need to at least for MCH. I can still maintain DPS while doing mechanics. You just have to get use to it and plan ahead. I think the devs wanted MCH to keep it on bc of procs, GB skills, rapid fire and reloads. There really is no reason at all to toggle GB off. I'm not sure how WM works but if it doesn't work the same way as MCH's GB then yea I can see toggling WM off during heavy mechanics to maintain dps.

Shh. If you do not want the flavor of the month bard to turn into machinist you need to hush. Keep telling bard players about that and soon ou will see 20+ machinist in every 24 man alliance raid when it comes out.

Better, use Feint.

Better, use Feint.

The boss will never know what hit 'em.

With WM on is a semi mobile mode, you still have a room to cast and evade because boss casting time is much longer than that.
