at a good ilvl, so take that away. 610-700, now if you want to be put up to what is relatively where BRD was pre-expansion, say 100-150 behind your melee depending on DRG or not, you're basically asking that these few skills give you an upwards of like an 80% DPS increase if you really want to be up to a good relative spot compared to 2.x

My real issue with BRD right now is how far they've fallen behind due to scaling, but I really don't think the solution is to just stack more bonus damage onto WM until the job is back up to par.
You can't just say take out auto attacks and chop off 100~150 DPS. You still have to calculate empyreal arrow (barrage makes it just that much stronger) and iron jaws, along with the 20% boost to everything. Given, in mobile fights WM might be a DPS loss, but its not 100~150.
