I think its time BRD get some loving

That is why Parses have never and never will be a full true and accurate representation to what someone brings to the party. That the damage that has been boosted by the BRD shows on a parser for the BRD is irrelevant and shows on edimensional thinking inregards to what they bring to the party. No BRD or no Paeons means no increase in the overall parties damage. That is what support abilities do as opposed to self buffs.

So yes it is yours, your the reason why the overall party DPS increased. Because with out it there is no DPS increase

Except, that would also mean, the 10% piercing damage from dragoons I get as a bard, goes to them. 10% of slashing damage from NIN/WAR would compliment each other and the paladin.. The argument still lies in the fact, it's a utility people provide to other jobs in your party. Generally, people self buff their damage in this game. It's not OUR damage. We're just providing them with a utility to do more damage. Just like other jobs provide utility to do more damage themselves.

Except, snip

Because you are still thinking linearly, and not in regards to what you bring to the party overall. If no BRD, no Foes, so caster damage is lower. If BRD caster damage is increased because of the BRD. Supprt or hybrid support, are to compliment and increase the effectiveness of the party. Thats their strength, not some arbitary figure on parser that doesn't show the full story.

Stop talking parsers as gospel. Its like watching parts 1, 5 and 11 of a 15 part series. Gives you a general; idea, but you dont get the full picture. Ive been using parsers since EQ1 so fully aware of how much they display and don't display.

I'm aware what each damage buff does for the group. I'm just stating you shouldn't start "adding it to your DPS." To me, it's the groups DPS. All I care about for my DPS is being able to push my best numbers possible while doing my job.
