so yeah, did anyone at all notice the boosts they made for brd, bard not only got more equipment with +1's on it, the main songs they have got boosted heavily and their caps raised, and the value of +1's increased further. with more equip added to give +1's for songs.brd's power just got taken up to a stage that brings it better than geomancer if you have galljahorn and daudablla. infact it should be as good if not better than idris for melee styles,.even if you lack those 2 and only have linos+2 augment/terpander with decent gear. You'll over power geo far more still in comparison to non-idris, geo still holds magic styles tho thats the points since they work with elements.

You don't need to weaken geo, this is a example what can be done if you actually try and make the game work for everyone. you now have geomancer for magic styles, and bard for melee styles. whats next is to get cor upto par in both melee/ranged/enhancing

People wanted reisei, escha, adoulin, all those things to be weakened, and they got it. they refuse to see it,monster hp, defence,attack,magic attack,magic defence,etc etc has all been weakened, people just haven't looked. i personally seen it and can't believe it just how much more weakened mobs are, honestly some mobs hp have droped like 20-30% and their magic evasion, magic defence,infact all skills droped by about the same. Pay attention, don't complain and actually look at what the update did, it did ALOT. massive really, only one thing that got missed out on in terms of weakening is high teir old content battles as far as i am aware.
