So then tell me, where are your credentials and why should anyone listen to you instead?
I leveled BRD to 60(thoroughly tested it with different openers) and played it through SCoB and FCoB with some respectable numbers.

If you played BRD right you would of known:
a.) The job required movement to perform max dps potential (repelling shot).
b.) We were sometimes the mechanics bitch which most of the time also required movement (for example turn 7,8,12)
c.) The job often required you to weave in 2 abilities in order to maximize dps by making sure everything is on CD in a timely fashion.
d.) Nearly 30% of our damage was from auto attacks (roughly a 16% dps loss if you are not counting the 2 new abilities).

And what do we get now? A caster type job that does no where near what a caster should be doing.
