The dire state of Bard/Rouge
After testing this class in various group composition it became very clear that this class is basicly unplayable for about 75% of the instance.
The Full Burst in Aoe
Works pretty good in my Opinion and does very good damage, and gets better if u have more than 1 b/r for a second kick to know down another wave of enemies.
The off burst in Trash
Well there is the problem off this class besides the massive energy AND focus problems, there are 2 aoes:
Mass Destruction which deals very little damage in offburst if no skill(1491133) is applied because then u do only mainhand DPS which on this class u barely have any of it AND u cant always affort that skill because it costs 40 energy AND 18 focus + the cost of (1491133) with 27 focus which comes to a total cost of 40 energy and 45 focus for 1 aoe, without any focus recovery u wont be able or can afford to use this combination.
2nd AOE (1491338) the Octav skill which has an elite so it deals Dark Damage.
well 1st its again ONLY main hand dps which this class doesnt really have and it also got nerfed to 644%. This skill combined with 20s cd doesnt really add that much to the class.
My Fix for the offburst disaster:
Give some kind of energy/focus regeneration
Change "1491338" too main and offhand dps like every skill of that class
reduce energy cost of Mass destruction and invert the Offhand and main hand dps so it can profit from the higher offhand dps OR give a Damage buff to the tamburin as a mainhand weapon.
Full Burst Single target
I guess thats where u wanted to make this class shine since, if u are able to stack to 10, it can absolutly destroy the boss. It also brings a bit of support to the group so if you change the class a bit that its better in offburst/trash then the Fullburst in Single target should take a nerf.
Sustain Single Target
Same as AOE sustain in offburst its absolutly trash, for example b2 in rofl u can see how bad it is to stand at a boss without anything to do since at 1 point u can spam a non gcd skill and thats it.
At bosses u can stack ur daggers which do without buffs no real dps since u dont have any weapon damage
In Trash the stacking is way to slow to not use "1491130" on Cooldown.
Conclusion:
This class feels very bad too play and definitly needs some love. In Comparison to other good/decent classes it will always fall behind even on better gear.
This was all tested with t11/12 gold gear and t14 weapons and compared to a wide range of singletarget/aoe classes
and most of the times this class falls off very fast after the first pull and u get the feeling of beeing useless until the next time u have all buffs up.
Kind Regards
