Bard is backwards to begin with. I feel the spirit behind this class is constant motion, and WM destroys the feng shui.

WM should provide a bonus WHILE moving. It's not as easy as it seems, next time you're on your bard/archer try it. You'd have to factor other mobs/pats, AoE, and other mechanics. It would bring a lot more fun to a class that currently with WM is required to just stand there and tap keys with the real challenge being not to doze off in the middle of it all.

Knew this was coming. EVERY thread is misleading to someone here, and never has a thread title changed because you think it to be so.

Bard is a support class, that's the point. It would be slightly strange if we put out the same amount of DPS as a Dragoon. I think Bard is fine the way it is, in my opinion, and actually enjoy using WM. It's not exactly that hard to play compared to other classes.

Ironically, the WM cast times have often let me correct the mistake of trying to squeeze in one last Heavy Shot :P

That said, I do think Bloodletter needs to have "Charges" instead of a flat cooldown with the River of Blood proc adding a charge rather than replacing the cooldown. The charges would recover on their own at the same rate BL currently does, but it would essentially allow the River of Blood to give us 2 uses of Bloodletter (3 if it happens at the same moment Bloodletter naturally resets) if we get lucky enough that both DoTs crit AND trigger. Place a cap on the charges or a duration on them so you can't prestack or save up dozens of shots.

I think that'd pretty much eliminate the one 'bugbear' Bard currently suffers.

Sorry but the thread title is literally named "3.15 Patch Notes", it couldn't be any more misleading. It is giving people false information before they even open the thread. It needs to be changed although the OP has (thankfully) edited his post.

The thread title is trolling really hard here. The OP even though changed the original post, the title is still derailing to people coming here on the forums.

None for SCH?! Pfft you lacist! (jk) (Although I don't need any change for SCH)

As others have said, misleading title.

Also, i dont think you ahve very much of an idea about balance. Even making something like iron jaws instant to use kind of breaks bard and makes dpsing on that class stupidly easy.

Its like you just want to make everything even more powerful, require less skill to use and basically break some classes.
