New 2.15 PvP Changes

[Alhanelem]

Composition change requiring 1 Melee 1 Range DPS.

As I mentioned in the other thread, one notable side effect of this is that Foe Requiem on BRD is now 100% useless short of WHM or SCH using cleric stance and nuking- because BRD can no longer be paired with BLM or SMN.

BRD should have been grouped with the melee DPS, not the casters.

It should be: Physical DPS (1 BRD, MNK, DRG), Magical DPS (1 SMN, BLM).

I think this was a shortsighted change because it disables one of BRD's support abilities (essentially) and, due to BRD not being known for its crowd control, results in a major loss of CC if you draw a BRD instead of a caster.

why bard can not be good with melee classes? I think bards are fine. Before 2.15 bards were most deadly dps class after summoner. Now when summoners are nerfed they are pretty equal.
