Advice to returning bard?

[ExiaQuanta]

Eh, IMO I think new BRD is still pretty good. The cast is 1.5secs so its not to bad. This time however you probably gonna build more towards Crit/Skill Speed probably. But meh, I'm one of those minorities that favor current heavensward bard o3ob. Some say MCH is more "optimal" with Gaus Barrel because it was "built" with casting in mind but in the end Gauss Barrel is, in a nutshell the same as Wanderer's Minuet. A lot of bards have switched to Summoner though because apparently it plays like old bard which idk how lol but thats what they say. I say if you want to play bard still, get it to at least lv56 to make that judgement because Wanderer's Minuet is not a profitable skill until you get Empyreal Arrow (Lv54) and Iron Jaw (Lv56). Current HW bard is also a class that now requires pre-knowledge of a fight for you to push out maximum dps if anything.
