melee dps buffs + bard nerf = cumulative effect too much?

[Thorauku]

You realize they can take B4B from us while still leaving us Inv, right? Or, y'know, change the untraited form of B4B/IR to be weaker while leaving the traited form alone. Or any number of things that won't royally screw us in regards to TP. I understand that the nerf is only going to weaken our already sub-par dps, and that it's silly all around, but there's not enough evidence yet to say that it's going to be catastrophic. . .

Well, if they only change the untraited form, I'm pretty much sure that it won't be BRD exclusive, so other class will suffer as well.

One way or another, if they will remove any of the 3 cross-skills I mentioned before, it will cripple BRDs. A win-win situation? I guess not. People who asked for BRDs nerf will realize that it's their own loss.

Goodluck on another set of QQ SE.

PS:
If they were to nerf BRD, why not just reduce the Proc rate of River of Blood, it's pretty OP if they will leave it as is.

Nope. Melee buff should compensate for BRD nerf easily.

All this whining I get from bards all the time makes me almost forget you guys are/were the most spoiled job in this game. If being the most shouted for Coil job wasn't enough because SE turned Bard into such special snowflakes, you also are ranged meaning you don't have to deal with 50% of the crap we melee dps and tanks have to deal with. In fact, you have to deal with even less stuff than the other ranged dps does because you don't get stuck mid rotation while dodging. Also Bard is such a easy class to play, the only challenge you guys will ever have is timing interrupts.

The only thing that its going to change is that 8 mans might start having 2 melee and 2 ranged dps due to the LB changes. Yoshi-p said the LB gauge would fill faster the more different jobs the group has.

Stop being such crybabies. You obviously want the best of both worlds. If you want to be top of the DPS charts then play a real job like DRG or Monk, otherwise:

Real job [/IMG]

Realy?
U need to find decent ppl to play whit, every good grp only takes 1 brd to coil.
Why u almost make it sound like Brd dont need to move out of crap at all? couse we can press a skill while we move?
I know that u, little toothpick fairy have a realy hard job and Brd is a faceroll to play, tbh maxing out the use of brd isent all just press 1-2-3.. and making max out of brd if they remove Lancer as sub class will be even more of a challange! might be fun even ^^ In coil Brd has some utility that are grp wide and have silence duty from time to time. in 4 man its a faceroll, in coil it takes effort to realy make the most out of brd, not only dps wise. People like u that trash this class makes me think of the naked guys in fates from lvl 15-50..

WTH are you talking about?

So if we lose B4B then we are crippled? Please, half the time in a large fight I don't use B4B due to the extra damage we take because of it does not outweigh the damage increase. A dead BRD will definitely have the lowest DPS and not sing any songs........saying any of the three will "cripple" us might be an overstatement?

But you would rather have them nerf the proc rate of River than lose B4B? That makes even less sense than your previous statement! River is awesome because it ties into us keeping out DOT's going, which greatly increases our damage over the course of a long fight, thanks mainly to River. I would rather lose B4B than lower River any day of the week.
