    Let's be clear. We were told that a bard skill will be moved to another class cause bards bring too much.
    I'm not talking about if you agree with the above premise.

    Here we have RoD, a BARD skill.
    The effect is changed to something notably less valuable.
    Then we have
    Storm's Path
    The combo bonus now also reduces damage dealt by enemies by 10%.TP cost has been reduced from 90 to 60.
    As many others have pointed out. The RoD effect is moved to Warrior.
    Calling it a nerf is half right. It is a nerf to the skill but the impression is simply that it is an isolated reduction.
    It is a movement of utility from one class to another. Please discuss it as such.

    It's a nerf to bard in an isolated sense.
    But now your raid can potentially keep up that buff and you will lose no damage/TP (if you have a warrior).
    It nerf to 'reasons to bring a bard' but a boost to your raid in general and to your personal dps(potentially).

    Please treat this issue in a more nuanced manner than a normal nerf.

    Edit:
    It is unfortunate that Storm's path is single target, while RoD is AoE.
    I guess this is balanced by the fact that Storm's path is part of a combo and therefore you don't need to go out of your way and lose massive TP to apply.
