Why is apex arrow a gcd??

[Shurrikhan]

ARR Bard had no other options but was actually overtuned during the launch patch leading to an immediate hot fix nerf.

HW Bard scaled fat better than MCH and remained the stronger of the two, just clunky as hell to play and nigh impossible to keep up with how busy it got.

SB Bard kept the broken crit scaling of HW Bard but gained from every utility and mechanical change made to it.

To be fair, splitting the crit stat into both chance and damage actually significantly reduced the damage floor of River of Blood (now Repertoire).

Bow mage was also scarcely any clunkier than HW MCH. Though procced shots offered MCH more mobility and weave opportunities over time, Feint was a smaller damage loss for Bard, seeing as it has less filler damage in the first place.
