One can always dream- FFXIV Bard edition

Please consider only one of the suggestions.

Bard- suggestion 1

- Change name to "Sniper Stance", "Sentry Stance", or something like that

- Add 5% accuracy bonus

Bard- Suggestion 2

Wanderer's Minuet...

- No longer adds cast times

- Slightly increases movement speed of self

- No longer disables auto attack

- Reduces auto-attack delay by 20%

-Damage dealt by auto attacks increased by 20%

-No longer increases damage dealt overall by 30%

-Increases TP cost on all Weaponskills by 50%

Empyreal Arrows and Iron Jaws...

- No longer have cast times

- Subject to the TP cost increase

- oGCD now

- Still require Wanderer's Minuet

Bard- suggestion 3

Wanderer's Minuet's name is changed to "Frenzied Minuet" and becomes a temporary buff with a cooldown, where for the duration...

- Skill speed increases by 20%

- Damage dealt is increased by 30%

- Cast times are added for all Weaponskills

- Auto attacks are disabled

Accompanying this, Empyreal Arrow and Iron Jaws no longer require Wanderer's Minuet, but still have cast times on their own

With the auto-attack delay of most bows, if you spam the GCD Weaponskills fast enough, you can see two of them fire one after another without an auto-attack occuring in between.

The auto attack delay reduction would adjust a Bard's auto-attack to the level of a PLD sword (albeit slightly higher), which is fast enough to consistently occur once every GCD.

Then the damage dealt by the auto attack itself is buffed- using approximately i220 on a 60 dummy as an example, this would bump auto attack damage to mid 800's.

On top of that you are almost constantly firing Heavy Shots, which do somewhere in the neighbourhood of 900~1100 (again, approximately i220 on a 60 dummy).

Slightly less than 2k per GCD as a baseline without the stupid cast bar is awful (again, i220 on dummy)?

Finally, add Bloodletter, Empyreal Arrow, etc.
