    As someone with ADHD and inability to adapt I personally cannot stand WM and my already sub-optimal DPS got even worse since this skill was added, it's all SE's fault. I can't even do DPS while moving and I can't move AT ALL with WM up and I'm just a turret. So boring and stupid, SE.

    One, sorry about your ADHD, but if you can't adapt, that is your problem.
    Two, it's not SE's job to look out for your ADHD. That's on you.
    That's like me saying "take out all tanking in the game because I absolutely hate it and can't adapt to doing it".
    ...see how that sounds

    I mean, that's kind of a false equivalence, though. It's not unreasonable to want a game to be more accessible in a way that isn't at anyone else's expense, like for instance having a higher-mobility class for people who prefer all of their difficulty not just coming from movement mechanics. That's not the same thing as taking an entire job out of the game.

    I have ADHD myself (which limits my reaction times) and live in Australia (which means I have inescapably high latency) and those two factors together meant that 2.X BRD's playstyle was literally the only way I had of earning my clear on high-end content, which is now lost to me because SE decided they wanted to unnecessarily limit the scope of their game design. And even then I'd probably have struggled on with BRD if WM wasn't broken and inorganic from design theory all the way through to graphical output.

    Sarcasm doesn't translate well to text, esp in consideration that some people may actually have adhd and can have trouble to play because of it. Otherwise i don't see the point of your post.

    If the boss isn't a valid target ( focus target doesn't even show their name like the first boss in neverfun) or they have an invulnerability buff ( like living liquid during their taxis), wildfire won't deal it's damage.

    Theres a lot more factors that can get in the way of a perfect wildfire versus( timing accommodations and having any other target in range means you are losing at least 100 potency off the bat) other jobs with its burst, and I'd say that it's the most detrimental dps loss if it does not run its full course (since the damage is dealt at the end versus it being spread throughout)

    You have to keep in mind I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you that MCH can/should have some changes done to make it less of a chore to play. I'm not trying to achieve anything really; the reason I say "diva" is because the vast majority of MCH players I run into that have complaints seem to think their job is the hardest thing ever and you gotta put in SOOOO much more effort than everyone else and still come out subpar in the end and blahblahblah it's really not very difficult to play or complicated.
    It's really not hard to get you as you say. Your arguments are nothing more then temper tantrums.

    If wildfire doesn't go off at all, that's a ~25% damage cooldown wasted with no compensation, versus a 25% buff to all damage. It's equivalent but I wouldn't say it's relatively weighted the same.

Making a mistake such as letting a wildfire drop is silly since downtime happens at the same time every time outside of % pushes which are honestly even more obvious. It just goes back to what I was saying that it's not really an easy mistake to make.

    The way wildfire works makes the job more tedious than others in the case of adds and downtime and whatnot, and a MCH doing amazingly will do much better than a MCH playing average, but it's contribution is way overstated here.

    I personally haven't touched Bard since I hit 60 and went through A1-4 Normal. I just don't like the play style anymore. Call me a casual, but I don't like playing casters. It's a shame because Bard was my favorite class. I've been trying other jobs to fill the void. Ninja and Astrologian have been pretty fun.
