Because i decided to play bard for what it was at the time. Because it was a terrible gameplay experience to level blm for whm cross, and i was soooooooo happy its was over. Because before playing bard the way "it is supposed to be played" ("now"), i would probably go nin, mnk or mech. They are however nowhere near 196, and actually dps a lot less then brd without wm. But yeah, why not just start all over. Grind grind alex farm, eso cappin weeks etc pp (wew thanks at least they share gear partly). I prefer to play more actively and faster. You have ppl complainin the gcd was too long already but the same guys wouldnt understand how someone cant enjoy cast aspects/mechanics?
