Bard and how to fix it.

[Geardagas]

1 - There is a delay that shouldn't exist between using a cd and when the next ability goes off. It should be seamless, but I get at least three button presses while spamming EA after using barrage or something. Does this happen to anyone else? It definitely happens to me and it's annoying.

2 - That accursed hissing sound effect during WM. Is gas forcibly escaping from my bow or something?

3 - Completely remove WM cooldown. Let us turn it on and off at will.

4 - There is no reason why our DPS should be noticeably lower than everyone else's. Our support isn't nearly good enough to warrant it. Simple solution: give bloodletter and rain of death a decent piercing resist debuff instead of the completely worthless evasion down.

5 - Minor nitpick: make moves more thematic. Why does a move called WANDERER'S minstrel cause me to stand still? How does a move called Iron Jaws refresh my dots?

6 - Give me a reason to sing more. Give me better songs. Look at bard from FFXI for inspiration.

Even worse: my Barrage interrupts my EA cast. All. The. Time. (Same with BL and HS/SS, or any other cooldown, really)

A minuet was a "small steps" dance requiring little movement.
As for Iron Jaws... our dots are called Venomous and Wind bites.
To me both names fit perfectly.

Agreed with your other points but the 3, the 15s cooldown is fine.
And they won't turn us into FFXI Bard. Support job doesn't and won't exist in FFXIV.
Though we are supposed to support our team...
