I severely do not like Bow Mage.

...you're complaining because for the first time, BRDs actually have downtime from attacking like everybody else.

Bards have no downtime. Pretty easy to drop and re apply wanderers. I drop it for the adds in a1/baiting resins. Hurts my dps? NP I got 2 dots ticking on each boss. If you gotta move and you just applied wanderers, then there is feint. Same deal as heavy shot, but instant , 30 less potency and 20 extra tp cost. I never used it yet though....but it's there. Bard zero downtime. All cri babies need to stop, really.
