    I don't think anyone's mentioned that BRD get lower damage weapons to counter the fact they can shoot while moving. BRD also don't get big spike damage like other DD's. BRD also don't get a DPS Limit Break like other jobs. You maximise BRD DPS by keeping your DOT's up and working through your attack buffs. There's a fair amount involved in the rotation and when things get hectic it's not just a simple matter of running around and shooting, you need to be paying attention just like any other job. You also can't just be a silence bot in coil, you need to be actively DPS'ing as hard as you can between CD's.

    It's not OP, it's just pretty much required for coil with the silence rotation. For some reason SE chose to give Coil mobs abilities that can be silenced on a 2 BRD rotation. It doesn't make the job overpowered though...
