Please don't remove Invigorate from BRD ><

They're changing what cross class abilities can be set by BRD.

I see, in what way exactly?

No specifics have been mentioned yet. I speculate removing LNC and replacing it with ACN but again its just speculation. They have said they wish to lower BRD DPS though, my guess to facilitate Ranger coming as a second job that gets the burst DPS back.

If we don't have any specifics, why are so many people raging back and forth over theories? Hell, with the thread title I had assumed that there was some nuance in the live letter that wasn't present in the Q&A Sparknotes which provided some specific information about upcoming adjustments.

Well to lower their DPS they have 3 cross class abilities, Invigorate, Blood for Blood or Internal Release. 2 of these come from LNC, 1 from PGL. To unlock BRD you need 15 PGL. LNC is the additional flavor. This is why the speculation comes out that they'll drop LNC altogether and save it for RNG.

Bard:
We have made adjustments to certain cross class actions that the bards can set.

The bold makes it noted that there will be more than one ability changed. Of course it is still possible that they will drop the base amount of TP Invig gives, the amount of crit IR gives or the damage buff BfB gives since they are enhanced on PGL/LNC anyway via traits and therefor leaving the subclasses unchanged. But then you're weakening LNC/PGL/MNK/DRG substantially as well until they learn their traits. We'll know on the 17th!
