tanks not using cooldowns?

Don't see how you got bards mixed up with this; because that just sounds like stupidity to me.

At some point you're going to recognize it's because you just don't get it.

But, I'll spell this one out.

Ranged damage in previous MMOs and single player RPGs is often either partially or entirely STR-based.

So a player like you comes into this game, and rather than figure out how this game works, arrogantly goes "I've been playing archers since 2004, I know how to play em!" and runs STR accessories and just makes everyone around facepalm at their insistence that they know what they're talking about.

As far as "you must not have played a lot of games" I've been in MMOs since they were called MUDs. (but then of course we go back to the fact that experience in other games doesn't count because the rules aren't the same)
