imo BRD is one of the big winners of this expansion, the changes seems small on the surface but they make the rotation flow a lot better, also with the Haw's Eye proc there's not that problem of not wnating to barrage when you already have a proc anymore, so the 2min burst feels a litle bit less chaotic and coupled with the new GCD's it makes for a nice flowing and satisfying burst
Bard feels great but it has the typical phys range problem of pressing a million buttons but doing significantly less damage than everyone else because of free movement. Really enjoying the 3-6-9 song duration. And I wish sidewinder was more interesting.
I'm on lvl 70 msq, and I've been playing bard since I started on arr. It's honestly kind of a struggle for me to play, but I'm getting used to it, and the new changes definitely help. Hope I can play this job in endgame content when I get there 😭
Dots being 45 seconds long is important because they match up with our song timers. You'll never forget to Iron Jaws if you do it after every song (regardless of when you clip it) and the dots will benefit from the song buffs at the time as well.

How did u change the bard charge bars? Is that an ingame feature or add on?
