    Wanderer's Minuet and Repelling Shot

    I have Bard leveled to 53 (almost 54) and I'm adjusting to Wanderer's. It's annoying, but coming from a SMN main I'm learning to get a feel for the new pacing of weaponskills.

    However, a problem I constantly find myself in is trying to weave Repelling Shot in between only to find my cast for my next skill interrupted, which is frustrating to no end.

    Is there a way to get around this, or do I have to sort of act like Bio -> Fester and give myself an extra second to half-second (or use another oGCD move)?

    If you use Repelling Shot asap it does not interrupt your next cast ever. Maybe you're reacting too slowly? Either that or you have much much much much more latency than I do.

    You'd have to use repelling shot as the oGCD after heavy shot, meaning you need to be within repelling shot range when the heavy shot finishes casting. Of course when you're under the effects of fey wind or The Arrow., well all of that's pretty much out of the window.

    You already have a Bio>Fester like gap built into the WM. Cast time is 1.5s, GCD is 2.5s (not accounting for skill speed). It's of course, a smaller gap and the Repelling Shot animation will use up most of it. So yeah, as the above poster said you need to execute it immediately after your cast, which takes some practice.

    As a slight bandaid u could use repelling after your next straighter shot proc. Since you are coming from a smn u can look upon these SS procs in a similar way to ruin II; it allows you to weave 2 ogcds: theres a nice bit of time free before the next gcd.
