I'm just very disappointed with what they are trying to do with bard.

I can get used to it but might as well play with something else. Which is a shame cause I was having a right good time Barding until Wonderes minuet was introduced.
Wanderer's Minuet ruined Bard for a lot of people.

^This. Please please please fix Bard, SE. Bard has been such a complete mess since Heavensward. You can tell that MCH was designed to be a certain way from the ground up, then they got to Bard and got lazy and had no idea what to do other than shoehorn Gauss Barrel-- uh, I mean, Wanderer's Minuet into it. Why are our two ranged physical DPS classes just clunky carbon copies of each other? No other similar classes are like this. SMN and BLM are completely different. The three healing classes are completely different. The three tanking classes are completely different. The melee classes are all different. Why take a class that was so beloved in 2.x and not only drastically change the gameplay style to something that so many people dislike, something SO foreign from what they've learned and enjoyed for 50 levels, but also shove their DPS to dead last? So many people walked away from Bard, even some walked away from the game, because of this. Please, SE, tell me that in the next expansion that Bard is getting a total rework.
