The Wanderer's Minuet and class-design frustrations

[Connor]

Except that he said "major" changes are coming for bard in 4.0 /shrug Maybe he does care?

This is true, though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sceptical. The 'major changes' they made to Astrologian in 3.4 was largely just potency increases slapped on a few abilities; it was a necessary balancing move but it felt very lazily done (not to mention it caused the AST vs WHM arguments I see often). I really hope they put more thought and effort into these 'major changes' for Bard if they do go ahead.

You can like something while still admitting that it is designed poorly.

I agree, and I've made clear several times in the original post that even I don't think Minuet has been implemented well at all. Minuet as a whole probably wouldn't have had any of the backlash it caused if it weren't designed to be so counter to the rest of the job's skillset.
