The argument"MCH/Bard have utility so their damage should be lower"

So I can understand where your coming from, and I agree with most of what was said. However I think you missed the real issue here. WM and GB are meant to increase DPS at the cost of mobility, however the skills aren't doing that at all. Now keep in mind I have been playing as MCH and not BRD, what I know about it comes from the BRDs I know, most of which are actually good at it. From my own experience, and what I've been told, the lose of auto-attacks and adding a casting time onto all the skills actually lowers both jobs already low DPS. This is why MCHs have taken rapidfire > GB, then removing GB as soon as their done with it.

Now all that being said MCH has bigger issues right now, so we're getting the flood of people complaining about everything with MCH. While I think that's the only issue I've ever heard anyone complaining about with BRD.

Here, I went through what I think is the actual purpose of MCH, and made a thread about it like I said I would in another post.
