Ways to fix BRD and MCH in a realistic way

[Musashidon]

Resource recovery is not a direct DPS boost. You'd have to give BRD +Attack, +Crit and +Determination before you can even make that claim. This said, Paeon and Ballad are essentially raid cooldowns, which is why they're a nice thing to have but are not definitive of BRD gameplay. They're basically our version of Bloodlust/Heroism, except Blizzard and the WoW's playerbase haven't convinced themselves that Shaman DPS needs to be below the tanks to justify them having those buffs.

of course it is a direct boost. without the resource recovery everything stops, dps and heals. unless you go into these fight in bis (which has been showed earlier in the thread) heals will run out of mp and need a ballad and dps/tanks will need tp recovered. without this resource recovery damage drops tremendously.

And BRD DPS does matter because if they're in the group, their contribution to DPS checks will determine whether you see the next phase or wipe.
Mobility is precipitated by the fact BRD is built around instants and off-GCD skills. It's what allows them to keep up the damage despite dealing less damage per skill, since they can keep attacking while everyone else is moving in and out of AoEs.

bard dps matter in the base fact of are they doing the bare minimum. yes for all current content that is currently out bards can do the bare minimum.

bards can do the same damage moving or not moving. we will use blackmage as the example they would have no dps if movement was as required as everyone seems to believe.

yes the instant casts allow bard to keep dpsing where blackmages can't, but wm is not meant to be used 100% of the time which once again everyone is trying to say. the down time of aoes is not very large at all.

mobility has little impact on them. you know when aoes are coming it's all scripted.

When DPS is high enough, the value of resource recovery plummets since you won't need it unless someone messes up on mechanics and drains the healer's MP (even then, I'd argue that things are salvageable seeing that casters have been given more ways to restore their own MP).

dps will not be high enough unless you already have done the content and out gear it. in which case you're right certain things aren't needed like 2 heals 2 tanks.
