BRD/MCH Fixed!

[sirDarts]

its not cast times, its the damage that BLM does , if they made the BRD/MCH damage = to that of a BLM, no one would be complaining. pretty sure its not their.. so, I don't think its as much about the cast times vs damage.

I've never said that the DPS of BRD/MCH is the same as BLM. And it never will be, as long as you have support abilities that make the whole party do more DPS...
The thing is, if you want to do your best possible DPS as BRD/MCH, you have to play similar to BLM, since there already is a class that plays that way, it clearly shows that it's possible to do.

I understand people complaining about BRD/MCH not doing "enough" damage. I do NOT understand people complaining about the 3.01 changes, ESPECIALLY those calling it a nerf.

Understood. I agree, im not ready to say "nerf" until I spend a week or so getting a feel for it. I am glad they did something, hopefully we (bars/mch) can find a way to make this change something that works for us.. keeping my fingers crossed.

You do realize that we barely ever use those tp/mp songs. I can understand a -15% dmg loss while in support mode. But I don't understand why we are using plastic bullets and arrows 100% of the time. The loss to mobility does not add up to the damage increase we get from GB/WM. If you actually do the math we only gained a 5% to 10% damage increase if you are lucky with procs. We lost Auto attacks which was 20% of brds and mch total damage + slapped on a cast time for each skill unless its a proc. So all in all its a 5% increase to over all damage with GB and WM on. For GB/WM to be a real gain in dps then turn auto attacks back on.
