Ninja Bard nerf?

[NeonC]

Im testing and the damage seems to be exact same to heavy shot?

People in this thread must play with some really shitty BRDs. Fastest boss kills for me have always been with 2 BRDs... 5 BRD titan is just lol.

Yeah, I'm experiencing the same thing.

Can everyone do some tests and verify so we don't make this a bigger issue than it is?

I could be wrong but thanks for ninja nerf done to bards.

Blood Letter = 150 potency and now it's 130 potency
Straight shot = 140 potency and now it's 130 potency

I didn't bother to go test on dummys and do the math to see if tool tip is wrong or it's a ninja nerf but yeah...what's up with the ninja nerf?

It's as if no one even logged in to look at the skill potency of both Bloodletter and Heavy Shot..which are both still the exact same

I'm sure they'll live. It sucks but it's nothing major that renders the job unplayable.

I'm getting identical numbers as well.

If this is truly the case, they need rethink BRD as a DPS role. A role back of half of the changes should be considered. Developers have a hard time finding a balance with player vision and their own. Players are if anything efficient hence all the 2 Bard party setups in 8 man groups. They may have designed and built the game but we pay for it. You can't have one without the other.

We are not a support class neither a DPS anymore... what are we now... I'm dissapointed because as a casual player this is my only class and now is worthless.

Anecdotal evidence != fact.
Have you considered that you might have played with some really terrible other DD's?

We're Caster Pet role. As long as you're grouped with BLM/SMN (there's always a healer) it should be good.
