Thread: Dev Request for 4.0: Get rid of cast bars on phy range

I was BRD main and as soon as I unlocked WM. I hated it, for 2 days. Now i am over it. Started raiding with BRD and enjoy it so much.
Then switched to MCH because I wanted to main all physical ranged jobs. (kind of like how healers & tanks play the other 2 jobs).

It is not like you move a lot while not having WM on.. you are standing sill. With or without a cast bar.

No auto attacks? BRD doesn't need them.
MCH? They stance dance after using all their oGCDs.

Thanks to the cast bar BRD can go Crit > Skill speed and not worry about TP.
If cast bar is removed then BRD will go Crit > Determination (like MCH).

Doesn't really make the jobs unique because then they will have almost the same BiS? Just different weapons.

Edit:
Also lets not forget MCH was designed with GB in mind.

Ability name
Rapid Fire.

Description
Reduces weaponskill recast time to 1.5 seconds.
Effect ends upon executing 2 weaponskills.
Duration: 15s
Gauss Barrel Effect: Weaponskills will have no cast time.


Their 1 > 2 > 3 combo prcos results in no cast time thanks to GB effect. (ammos give you 100% proc to the next skill combo).

Notice in this video there are only 3 cast bars at the begging of their opener till the dummy health reaches 75%.

And because GB increases damage by 30%. They had to give the same damage buff to BRD.
