SCH and SAM got abilities back. SAM got cast delay abilities to become instant.
Even MCH cooldown is touched...

Not even gonna at least change Bard Soul Gauge sound? Not even FR return with instant cast time?

Just damage and potency number shower on jobs but the lore aspects are completely ignored? Really?

They didn’t even adjust the awful scaling potency of Apex Arrow lol. I love having a lv80 ability that’s worse than my upgraded level 1 ability most of the time, then when gauge gets to 100...it’s still weaker than Burst Shot unless you don’t get a Refulgent proc.

They didn’t even change the misleading tooltip to note that 500 potency is the maximum, not the base. Below 60/70 gauge it’s less potency than a 260 Burst Shot.

Rest in peace Bard I guess lol, I’m not sure why anyone would use it in savage over Machinist or Dancer outside of a very strong personal preference (for Rangers).
Dancer gives the same rDPS and a ton of pDPS buffs for padding, healing with Curing Waltz, utility buffs with Shield Samba and Improvisation and increased mobility with En Avant. Machinist has all its flashy tools, higher pDPS than Bard and and can still add a little bit of utility with Tactician. Bard has less rDPS and utility than Dancer, less pDPS than Machinist. and utility that nobody wants or needs outside of Battle Voice and Troubadour, both of which are on longer cooldowns than their counterparts

Just remove the damn ability and change to instant FR. The ability is not a cherry on top. It's a malignant in my eyes.
