Bard's WP adjustment? What are they?!

[xLucia]

EDIT: Oops. Just realized they were talking about a different skill. Boo Thought they meant Wanderer's Minuet for some reason. I just woke up so I guess my brain is all weird and I completely mistook WP for WM XD Ignore me >.>

Still the question remains, what are these adjustments? :O

[UBERHAXED]

Likely increase duration (e.g. a 60 seconds) so it's actually useful. Other than that they will probably just change the effect entirely.

I'm such a nut xD Didn't realize they talked about a different skill. I thought it was about wanderer's minuet not the barrier skill I never use anyway :P

That's why it's being adjusted, so you will use it. Lol.

Glad they're keeping WM as it is, leveling my bard on my alt and I already love that skill.

I don't mind WM but I'm not a fan of the castbar. In every game I played, archers did not have a castbar on all/most of their skills. It was usually only 1 or 2 skills that were casted, the rest was instant, and that's what I think about when I think about an archer class. It feels a bit misplaced to give archers (and gunners too, btw) a cast time.

That said, I do like the concept of WM with the damage increase and certain skills you can only use when WM is turned on, and I've gotten used to the cast bar by now. But that doesn't mean I don't miss the instant attacks that bards used to have I always played archers because of their instant skills, being able to move as you attack when movement was needed, and not have to worry about casts.

Of course, I'm just saying it could be a lot worse. With stutter stepping it's not that big of a hit to mobility.

For aesthetics, I don't see it much as casting, more focusing to aim your shot. I think it's cool, and Empyral Arrow is <3.

I think it would make more sense if they changed the attack animations to hold on the bowstring draw, not the reload like it is now.

I read Wanderer's Minuet also! o.0 The power of wishful thinking....

Concerning WP, it would be amazing if they made it an instant ability with a cooldown, instead of the cast time abomination that it is. I can think of a dozen fights where I would enjoy some status effect protection, but never at a sacrifice of 1.5 GCDs. Even better if it could purge status effects after they've been placed, like a free esuna every 45 seconds.
