Bard Nerfs Offically Confirmed

[ChaozK]

Way to throw in an argumentum ad hominem. The fact of the matter is that BRD currently IS the weakest on the DPS charts. The reason it appears to be strong is due to how easy it is to play BRD.

They are the weakest dps however the way a lot of fights like titan work, can push them up a few spots. A bard should not be bottom dps in fights like titan, especially not when there is a dragoon in party that buffs their dmg by 10%. They should have a mid spot or higher in those fights and that is just not what SE intended when they balanced the class. Bards offer more than just pure dps while other classes offer only dps, thats why bard dps is supposed to be the lowest but it doesnt always work like that.

Because of that nerfing bards dps is the wrong way, it would crush them in tank and spank fights, where they are already pulling lowest dps. The smartest route is to make them affected by movement like other classes. If thats not happening bards will always be either too weak or too powerful, depending on the fight.

i can tell you that titan is the only fight on it own style.
