Bard saw three extremely minor changes in 6.1. Can't help but think none of them were necessary and one of them is counter productive.

repelling shot - increased jump back distance. Ok, I guess? Being honest, haven't had it on my toolbar since it stopped doing any damage years ago because the odds of it sending me into a wall/off the arena are too high relative to the minor benefit of extra mobility.

battle voice - no longer needs a song playing to use. Again, ok. I suppose this may change the opener slightly since you don't have to have a song up (the number crunchers out there will tell us where to slot it in), but it seems like a solution in search of a problem. Never saw anyone complain about this.

pitch perfect - now shares a button with wanderer's minuet. This change makes no sense and clearly was made by people who don't play bard and thought it was a way to reduce button bloat. Anyone who plays bard regularly knows why this isn't the case. One is a song that will be on your secondary toolbar next to the other songs so you can do a rotation and hit it once every 2 minutes. The other is an oGCD that you will spam heavily over a 45 second window and will have on your main toolbar near your other oGCD skills. So rather than eliminating a button, you now have the same one on there in 2 different spots because you will still want minuet near the other songs and pitch perfect near the other oGCD attacks.
