Since patch 5.3 job changes many people are probably unsatisfied with the weak buffs and changes received. Many may disagree but most will agree that some changes should be prioritized.
Firstly, it has been asked for quite a while now but since no charged actions has been applied to Bloodletter and Empyreal Arrow. This should be treated with top priority. The proc timing often causes clipping and an important aspect is that not everyone playing this game and paying an identical subscription fee benefits from living close to servers. servers should cater for all players and make game-play equally enjoyable for everyone. But even so this is something that has been asked by the community at large for quite a while.
secondly, apex arrow is quite a failure, suggestion is to make it fixed damage for 50song gauge cost similar to dancers esprit, allowing players more flexibility and make it a skill used more often or noticeable.
thirdly, party and support skills from the bard is just plainly underwhelming, why even boast the title of bard when the support is so mediocre. Single unit increases to each song buff would be more noticeable and give more support satisfaction.
the sidewinder increase was very welcome but a extra 50potency would have been more satisfying.
caustic and stormbite should be either rebuffed to 5.0 potencies or a better rework. or make dots tick during downtime again like in 2.xx.
Bard is very proc dependent, but its proc chances is low compared to dnc for example, so that needs to be kept in mind as well.
how does everyone else feel about the changes and what else is lacking with the job currently?
