I've permanently solved The Wanderer's Minuet problem...

[Stormsoul]

Or play Summoner, because its almost as free as the 2.x BRD playstyle.

Seriously, Wanderer's Minuet and the equivalent of MCH are terrible design decisions just to force players to have to do boss mechanics exactly like a BLM.
I don't play BRD much, just leveling it to 60 and barely played it during 2.0 but I can easily understand how people don't want to play bow mage.

Squenix messed up big time and are simply making every class too similar

sorry, but have you played a BLM? their cast times are almost twice as long, the loss of mobility from GB/WM is next to nothing compared to what BLMs have to deal with. heck, a lot of the time in gauss barrel you have full mobility anyway due to procs/ammo. you can leave GB/WM on 98% of the time with no problems whatsoever due to how lenient they are.

it isn't even comparable to BLM's lack of mobility, when on top of long cast times they have enochian, punishing movement even further.
