It seem like your someone who hasn't been playing FFXI for a long time and have not explore all the job carefully. Did you know that Ranger and Blm are safe job? They have always been like that for a very long time. BST was the same way for the past 12 years. With current September update SMN is now a safe job with that boost to range.
Here are links i like to share with everyone and Akihiro Matsui.
FFXI Yorcia Weald Delve 1-5 + Boss (4 people) March 14, 2015. Amazing Video but BST can't do 99,999 dmg like SMN. clear time is 12 minute.

FFXI Incursion Level 135 Vanquisher Gramk-Droog March 28, 2014. Bard and SMN can keep any DD from getting one shot with Sentinel's Scherzo and Earthen Armor. If that had been BST pet even if you're well gear it probably take tons of damage, be difficult to keep it alive with reward, and die.

I save the best for last. FFXI - SCH Kamihr Delve Solo (1-5 + Utkux) May 11, 2015. 37 minute clear.

This very same person Mischief17 can solo all Delve zone 1-5 + Boss without trust. The toughest zone is Kamihr Delve and for him to solo it was amazing Taru and very skilled. People should respect all Taru because they aren't a Joke. Dev Team should hire these people because they slow everyone the way to play FFXI to it's fullest.
Now ask yourself a question can BST do this solo? HELL NO! If they can than i like to see some evidence videos. All job do amazing things when you got a Cor, Brd, Geo, Rdm around to help. I do not like to see any Nerf to any more job but I like to see other job improve and close the cap to be good in a unique way. Make sure you go earn your 1200 job points stop hating and show BST some love and learn how to play your job. =)
