I happen to like Minuet. The pace of actions is like a lazy enmity control, don't have to hold back anywhere near as much when I start plunking buffs. That said, Minuet wasn't something Square gave Bard just because. Bard is every bit as viable without as they are with. Minuet is their answer to players requests for more damage, and more damage it is. But seems Square wasn't exactly anticipating people ONLY wanting more damage, they didn't want it balanced against the other Jobs. "But it's not balanced!" Oh, but it is. Other Jobs may have gotten as many buffs in Heavensward but they arealmost all limited in use and duration... save Minuet. I'm not counting the Extra Jobs cause their thing is being new with Heavensward. But. again, Bard is every bit as viable without Minuet as they are with so if you don't like having to stand still and cast like a Black Mage, then don't use it. Quit talking for others when clearly you don't.
