Some ideas for Brd in the current pvp

[Shpy]

I have had shared my ideas with some other BRD mains and we came to these ideas on how to improve it and we would love to hear your ideas as well and hope this gives SE any ideas!

-Repelling Shot: Remove the weaponskill potency buff and give repelling shot two charges. (Repelling shot should be used as a defensive ability and should not be used for a dmg buff that lasts 6 seconds only for you to get caught since it will be down for 30 seconds)

-Barrage: Each hit of barrage should count towards the song gauge. (After changes Barrage feels rather empty and feels like it has no real purpose in the kit except for doing at least 2k dmg from the 3k dmg before the recent patch we figured that Barrage should be used to gain resources for the song gauge)

-Apex Arrow: Longer range and grants the weaponskill potency buff from Repelling shot upon use. (The range for Apex Arrow makes it dangerous to pull off since you would need to be nearly in melee range just to get off the dmg, and maybe a potency buff but i think that is a little bit of a stretch.

- Caustic bite & Stormbite: Every 5 ticks of from these dots grants 5 points towards the song gauge.

Dot building song gauge would have to be fixed on one set of dots on one person or it would probly be way to strong.

I hate that the songs are on each of their own button now but it might grow on me. I keep pressing paeon thinking it will be barrage then I have to press again and the burst cd is already over > Might work itself out once I get used to it... But do I want to get used to it?

Apex feels so useless, its supposed to be a "big" skill and its nothing near that and too risky to use as much as you should.

Bard feels so lackluster and underwhelming now I played this job for over 2 years and now I feel like I am hitting people with wet noodles. To do any real damage you have to have ur whole arsenal ready and there is too much time in between those windows. We are now a ranged monk without damage to make up for being slow it feels like.
