It feels clunky for sure but BRD is a DPS class and WM is a significant DPS increase, that is enough incentive for me to want to use it.

If they remove WM then they would have to nerf the damage so it isn't significantly better than MCH which it turn will make taking BRD's pointless into serious groups since MCH would have higher DPS potential while having similar support utility.

Shitty design on SE's part since WM was their "lazy" way of balancing BRD's to keep them even with MCH but oh well.
