Bard Nerfs Offically Confirmed

[Aries37]

BRD DPS doesn't deserve a nerf as it is, or else it's going to be useless in all lv 50 dungeons and all primals, maybe even coil.

You know that's just not true though.

None of the dps checks in this game are anywhere near hard enough to warrant that kind of discrimination. If there were something tuned that high then people would only ever run SMN/BLM/MNK.

All this nerf will do is make raids consider against taking 2 bards, and I think solo bard will probably become the norm just like it's the norm to take only one melee (remember though that there are TWO melee dps jobs competing for that one slot; bards have no right to complain). Bard will still be the only dps job in the game that is practically guaranteed a raid slot because mana song/foe requiem/ranged silence make content so much easier.

This is not the matter of having DPS check, but about players will aim for fastest/most efficent way to do the content.

Having 2 healers make Titan hard mode so much easier, but some groups do Titan hard mode with 1 healer to increase killing speed(or to sell leech spot), because they can deal with the damage taken with just 1 healer.

If BRD DPS gets too much nerf, players will find a way to deal with song/silence issue and never invite BRD again.
