Bard Nerfs Offically Confirmed

Do people seriously think BRD is not OP as it stands? A class that can avoid the majority of mechanics without a single bit of loss in DPS?

See thats the kicker. Alot of people here are defending BRD as the worst DD class based on spreadsheet dps from stand still fights or even wooden dummies. Sure, MNKs will get some pretty nice damage when they're not running everywhere and avoiding as much as possible. But a majority of fights are based around mobility atm, so in practical damage output BRD is really up there.

Majority of fights based around movement? I just did turn one and turn two of coil. Dps hardly moves either one of those boss fights. Titan, sure everyone is moving like crazy and there is a real difference in that fight, but not many fights are like Titan in the entire game. Mages wish they didn't have to channel, and melee hates the world and all living creatures pretty much. That is what these threads tell me. I can't wait for melee to get on to the next set of complaints for this game.
