So....you want a BRD buff and make the job even easier to play?


So....you want a BRD buff and make the job even easier to play?
The reality is that squares new ui's were intended to get players away from staring at buff and debuff bars and focusing on fight more. In 4.0, Bard remained one of the only classes who still have to stare at both buffs and debuffs bar constantly for straight shot, dot timers, and snap shotable buffs/debuffs. But on top of it, we had the song ui added with new stacks/resets to watch for and with all the new abilities/utilities we received even after pruning, we now have 17 oGCDs last time I counted to manage and keep on top of. I dont find it particularly hard to play, but my eyes are definitely bouncing all over the place constantly taking me away from watching the fight.
There are too many things going on with bard in too many places. I don't necessarily need for RA to refresh SS ( would be nice though). I would just rather have it consolidated with our song bar. But then again, ill still be staring at my buff bar for snapshots.

OMG yes. I'm WHM main but I was helping someone clear final trial last night on BRD and my eyes were all over the place. Even tried to adjust my HUD a bit to try to help but there's just so much to track now.
I'm in the same boat as you. I feel like I'm watching a fight in DBZ with my eyes shifting everywhere trying to keep up with everything. The job isn't hard to play and the damage is great but it feels like your eyes and attention span have to shift in to turbo to keep track of everything. It can be exhausting, especially when you're trying your best to squeeze out every point of dps you can and pushing the job beyond its limits. Then again, we are Warriors of Light for a reason.....
