Actually I just thought of a way the change could make a difference . If you Shadowstepped Barnes or returned him to you hand in some other way , he would definitely pull the same minion again for better or for worse . <| sep |> There ' s no shame in losing to Navy . As for SMU , everyone drops a game here and there , the problem is when it happens consistently like with Strong . <| sep |> Compare it to a Sorcerer ' s flexible casting . At level 5 they ' d have five points per day , a mesmer would have 4 per rest 8 per day with one rest . A first level spell costs a sorcerer 2 points , in theory it should cost a mesmer just as much at minimum . Sorcerers pretty much only cast spells , bards have a lot more other stuff going on for them already so they don ' t need to outshine other classes in casting ability .
