First impression of MCH is fine, honestly. Lower ammo count took a bit to get used to, but the halved cooldown on reload is a fair compromise in my eyes.

Mostly I'm just completely distracted from MCH by RDM, though, so that first impression is really all I've got.

I love the bard changes so hard. It's so fast, always pushing buttons. I don't even have refulgent arrow yet and I'm loving this, and I know its only going to get better. I like the song changes a lot, I like not having to take time to place a ground AoE, I do miss the second AoE some times, but quick nock is still good, with its cheaper cost. And yeah, theres nothing like shoving a fully charged pitch perfect into some boss' stupid face. It's the fast, mobile bard I always wanted. I do miss internal release though, especially with the poison crit based song bonuses. Still, that's hardly a real problem. ^_^

I like PLD so far. It got kinda fun to play. I can't wait till I reach level 70 to alternate between the magic and physical rotations.

I'm the same as any other bard mains here. At first I thought the song changes are bad but when I tried them out it kinda feel even simplified and relearning is easy. Although I miss skills like Flaming Arrow, Quelling Strike and the old Swiftsong. (Peloton is too clunky to use right now)

Don't need Quelling, TP and MP refresh both lower Enmity at no cost.

I've mainly been doing fates on my PLD and I love it! With total eclipse I can actually do damage to groups of enemies at the same time! Also, my sprint animation is awesome. Screw mounts, I just sprint everywhere now, it takes twice as long but it's epic!

Going from HW Bard to SB Bard has been quite the experience so far. I went from massive burst damage potential to something far more consistent. HW Bard required thinking tactically and planning everything around 90 second burst windows, and I figured out how to cheese a lot of encounters just with pure raw AoE damage and Rain of Death resets.

SB Bard on the other hand... It requires a different kind of tactical thinking, planning out your song order and figuring out your dance steps over the next minute. I've already figured out how to cheese even harder with SB Bard (as an example, we were pretty much made to do the honeycomb skip in Saint Mocianne's Arboretum, just throw Windbite on everything as the party rushes to the second honeycomb, use Minuet, and enjoy constant fully powered Pitch Perfects to burn it down).

Overall, I'm very happy. Initially I was worried that I was going to end up losing a lot of damage, but it looks like the inclusion of Direct Hit more than made up for it anyway.

I'm playing SCH and while I've chosen to get it to 70, I'm only level 61 and the changes are just mind-boggling. SCH is in an awful state. As many have said the term 'gutted' is an accurate summation and I pray that they do some tweaking to it over the course of 4.0, because it's just terrible now.

Not a fan of the gauge for AST. It's pretty big if I want to be able to see my RR, and it's hard to find a good spot for it. Healing/DPS feels a little clunky now that I have one instant-cast dot and one casted DPS spell, but I'm not 70 on it yet - could be smooth. I love having role actions (Protect, refresh, Swiftcast, etc) all available when synced during leveling roulettes whereas they used to get locked out as cross-class actions.
