    No ranged classes were ruined. At all. The hits you took were relatively small. SMN is still a ST/Cleaving monster. BLM annihilates every other class in AoE and still has great ST damage.

    Bards took the biggest hit. Mostly in utility I suppose, losing RoD's damage reduction. The CD nerf (the only damage nerf, Heavy Shot and Straight Shot 'nerf' are toolkit errors) was figured to be ~7% damage loss. You've still got the best uptime and utility.

    A shame they changed out RoD's effect, because now I'm never really using it unless it's for the free proc. I never really use my songs either, because the TP one is worthless unless I myself need it (I can't see people's TP bars), the MP one is really only for WHM, and the Requiem is only for BLM. Some utility class we are, all our utility is worthless for helping except in really specific circumstances.

    Requiem is for BLM, SMN, and any healer that has time to DPS.

    The only thing I've really noticed is the MP tick after using B3... It takes a second or 2 and isn't as immediate as it was before the patch. It bugs me because I was used to switching from AI3 to AF3 so quickly and having MP; now everyonce in a while I make the switch back to AF3 and never recovered any mana >_>...
