Well yeah the whole point of casting times for bards were because mages were jealous of our speed right? Yeah I'm looking at you director and/or producer who mains blm. I noticed alot of changes were made to boost blm while bringing other casters into the gutter. You want to stop bards from moving fine but 1.5 seconds is bs. Only anytime below 1 second is fair. The rest of the points were to make combat smoother. The enimity system in general is off balance imo. A good dragoon can steal aggro from a drk. Thankfully not too many good dragoons lol. I also agree with adding a system for bards to save up multiple bloodletter procs. Some of these animations are boring. For example riot blade is just a poke. I would rather it be a full sword thrust. I am currently working towards all DOW classes to 60 and i can only speak for those classes. I know about DOM, but i wont speak about them unless i get them to 60 which is unlikely.
