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

I don't think a good number of people understand why the changes to BRD are happening. BRD is getting their adjustment not because they are the highest dps, and I'm pretty sure everyone including the devs know that BRD is the lowest dps out of all the dps jobs. The problem is that BRD dps is SUFFICIENT enough plus their utility/safety factor that makes them be favored for the dps spot. If a group has enough sufficent dps to overcome any dps race but at the same time has much higher probability of succeeding due to safety/utility then who cares if they are bringing the "lowest" dps out of dps options. I don't think any groups are concerned about completing coil turns 15-20 seconds sooner because they could bring a higher pure dps job. Groups just want to make it as easy as possible and BRD does that. BRD dps is lowest but it is not that far off that it really matters that its lower given how much more trivial it makes encounters.

I personally think that they should have just made brd a lot more complicated to keep it in check rather then nerfing it.

Good point

Thats the truth.
I wounder how far Down brd's dps must go to have the effect they want to solve the issue. Iv seen SE crush class's before due to diffrent issues, but time will show.
The sad part is that i dont think it will solve any problem for melee classes in coil.
Remove brd, and still there will be 3 ranged classes + 1 melee. And that again would leave drg even further Down on list over wanted classes in coil.
Looking forward to se what SE have in mind on the issue

The difference is now 220 vs 330 +-? seems low enough for me, I am not really sure how low does the dmg have to get to make people satisfied.
