Resonant weapon does not feeling good, especially in mid to large scale pvp

From my experience, whenever the size of a fight exceeds around 6v6, resonant weapon becomes fairly useless. In small scale pvp blowing someone up with a menacing resonance proc is valid (and extremely unballanced), but when the fight becomes a bit bigger, theres other abilities you have to press first always, causing you to never really have a chance to proc it.

I think the most impactful bard spec in mid to large scale pvp is to play healing bard. Almost every time after say a 8v8 or an open world larger fight is over, i find myself with all my resonance stacks left because i simply did not have the time (or use) to proc them, as i had other better buttons to press.

I feel like i dont have alot of agency over this mechanic. You can never get the proc when you actually want it. Its nearly impossible to time it correctly other than the menacing proc, which again, shouldnt exist in the capacity that it does right now.

I think there should be a rework of this mechanic. I would love something where i can temporarity boost the effect of my active melody(s). Perhaps create a new bard base kit ability thats a spender of resonance stacks that when consumed, buffs the effect of your melodies?

Would love to hear other bards thoughts!
