They'll never nerf mages no matter how much stronger they get from everyone else. It's not like right now end game parties are all bards. You wouldn't have a damage dealing limit break. You still need blm and summoners for their strengths. And you need a lancer or two. The only problem with the dps roles is how weak monk is.

So now you still need to have a bard in your party, but it will do less. great? it won't help you beat titan.
If you bring a BRD with a SMN and a BLM, your Foe's Requiem will boost their damage enough to make up for the loss of your own.
Or should, correct me if I err on how much it improves DPS.

The nerfs to bard aren't making the game harder.
RoD being changed was shifted to WAR.
The DPS nerfs are not going to kill BRD DPS, though BRD DPS, ifI remember right is at the bottom compared to everyone.

BLM did get a nerf actually. They fixed the double dip bug which is somewhat significant, and lowered the AOE burst potential as well.
They also removed thunder from SMN repetoire dropping their DPS by 7.5%.
