I only recently started FFXIV again but Bard is what I've been playing. I enjoyed it a lot while leveling and being familiar with MM hunter I understand why WM came into play at later levels, but I think it hobbles the class a little too much. Changes I'd enjoy:
  • Bites are instant even with WM
  • Longer duration for Windbite (enough that you'd generally refresh Venomous Bite once by itself before using Iron Jaws to refresh both)
  • Longer duration for Straight Shot (somewhere between the two Bites)
  • A better UI notification for when Bloodletter procs (I miss WeakAuras)
  • Consolidation of DPS cooldown bloat, don't care how just: less is more
  • Flaming Arrow removed from ST rotation. Maybe make a trait that drops it when you use Rain of Death; something that limits its use to AoE situations.

Overall I'd just like it to have a more fluid priority system. Right now it feels kind of chunky.
