Job balancing?

If you are referring to this reply, I state again this wouldn't work because of the nature of way brd song power is calculated.



For instance if you combine Ballad 1, 2, 3 into 1 spell that's 6mp/tic add on Gjallarhorn +4 and emp legs +1 and that would only total up to 11mp/tic, 10 mp less than the 21mp/tic that current 3 ballads do because of the fact that the +5 is added only once instead of to each of the individual songs(1+5, 2+5, 3+5). Combining all songs to one and limiting to 1 type per song is not the solution.

If normal NON REM brd gets such a large boost, does that mean those of us who did become REM brd get even more boots? or would we receive nothing for all of the work we put though to achieve REM status?

I thought it was assumed that the buff would take song+ buffs into account. So let's say that Minuet V strength is equivalent to, say, the attack boost we currently get from a combination of Minuet V and IV including instrument boosts. Make Victory March as strong as the haste boost we get from double Marches. Same with Madrigals and so on. That's a pretty significant boost, and I'd argue that songs should be stronger GEO spells because dispels are a greater deterrent/irritation than having to stay in AoE range or recast a bubble.

Also, your argument about RME BRDs... so what? 4 songs is always more than 3. Ghorn is always stronger than regular instruments. Carn will always be best in slot duration boost. What more do you want? The job doesn't need stronger RMEs, it needs a stronger baseline.
