Thread: Bard skills in 5.0?

So i have been thinking how brd might proceed forward so here goes my ideas:

Army's Peon reworked now this was hard and i got 3 ideas for it they however all come with drawbacks so i'm indecisive about it
-change sks buff to crit buff and have it go up by 2% per stack, this would make Army's Peon more useful overall and you absolutely want to refresh dots during this making brd burst potentially stronger but its drawback is there is no point to procs once capped and EA may feel like a waste once capped as well
-get rid of sks buff allow procs to give straighter shot buff, this would keep procs relevant while helping to set up brd burst window better but this would just be a carbon copy of Mage's Ballad formula and may make it feel stale
-change sks buff to DH buff at 5% but every proc allows every party member in song distance to receive current stack buff for 5s, this would give even more group power to brd so it may make it hard to balance plus it may not align well with other party members buffs.
