    Question about the bard changes ?

    Well in my quest to level up all the jobs to 60 I started bard today. Now the first thing I noticed on bard is Wide Volly can't proc Rain of Death for free TP on top of that Rain of Death shares a cool with blood letter. This makes Rain of Death unuseable to the point where you want to take it of your controller. Quick nook is also made not so good because it can't be free TP procced either.

    Can someone tell me why these changes happened ? 2 aoe skills probably won't ever be used again. Makes you run out of TP so fast doing fates.

    Rain of Death sharing a cd with bloodletter and having your dots crits have a chance to reset the cooldown is pretty damn good for aoe. Dot multiple targets and watch rain of death get reset like crazy. Just gotta know how to utilize it better.

    Downside, Wide volley no longer has a use since it has the same potency as Quick nook, but for like 20? more tp.

    Why would you use Wide Volley > Quick Nock

    Quick Nock is great. Wide Volley is useless now. Rain of Death actually gets used now, now it not costing anything.

    I always noticed before the change the procs were never worth the TP cost, at least for me. Never proc'd.
    Which is sad because Wide Volley animation is awesome but hey. Whatever.

    I'm kind of sad Wide Volly is useless, I loved the animation. But Rain of Death sharing a CD with Bloodletter is amazing~

    I started leveling my Bard from 50-60 not that long ago. 57 at the moment. Really hating WM and I main a healer. :\ Bard used to be the class I could take into dungeons on weekends when my lag picked up, but not anymore.
