Yoshida: "Uh..this would confuse the new player and is too complex. Also balancing reasons so while this would make sense, think of the new player."
Also: "Not very much different"...sadly it is - the casual player base doesn't stance dance, especially not on MCH so it's actually a foreign concept to many.
I for some reason can see them combining storm's eye and path into one buff when both are on a target, so when eye and path are up they become one new buff that applies both effects and can be refreshed by eye, path or DE - for those handicap ninjas that think they do more damage with that.
I mean, this was literally floated out there in the same week Heavensward launched. How the fuck did they rationalize Bow/Gun Mage design as they did? lol It makes the whole concept flow more naturally and desperately avoids more oGCD and animation lock clunk.
Wait, fuck. That's exactly why they didn't do it that way.
You would get fags running around like this is a twitch fps wich is the biggest reason im a fan of the current WM.
As a mch I really dislike having to cast my shots. It kinda ruined the fun for me.
With MCH, you have to hardcast less than half the time. It's a reasonably-well-designed implementation of the caster stance.
BRD is just pants-on-head retarded.
