    - Need to apply DOT on target in case of mutlti target situation.
    - Having dot to roll in not better than having a song active.
    - Not being buffed by it's own party abilities.
    - Being a 80s rotation job which never/poorly align with standard 2/3min party cd, and never with reopener at 6min.
    Some of these were valid problems but the way in which they decided to address them made it so much worse.

    -Loss of Bloodletter/RoD because of proc loss? More stacks of BL/RoD like in the media tour. Instead they gave us half procs, lower potency and a fixed proc rate. Threw the baby out with the bathwater.
    -Multi dot on multi target? And? Literally the point of the job. Bard was tied for highest DPS on multi target in ShB for a reason. It was harder but the rewards justified the effort. If you're in a dungeon, just stormbite 3 mobs and you were a turret. Any more than that and you were wasting gcds.
    -Agree to disagree. Skill expression is already something we're gravely lacking and it ties back to my previous point on multi targets.
    -Agree. needs to hear its own songs.
    -Once again, media tour fixed it and in a pretty amazing way. Song cycle was 2m and RS was 60s. Literally perfect. Two burst phases per cycle. But no. we can't have nice things.

    I keep talking about the media tour, I know but f*ck man. We were so close.
