I am not sure about this. Our BLM clearly has seen an increase on every encounter so far.
Also it was stated at some point that monster resistance were removed so Requiem act as a 10% damage increase (That's what i kept reading from 1.0/beta players). It could be that some boss in coil are immune but this would need confirmation.

Bards are NOT a support class. This game is a trinity game, Bards area DPS with group utility. Trating a bard as a support class only shows your ignorance of the games mechanics.
I agree completely with you there.
