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

[Kayote]

Do MNK's get crap for their Mantra? What about Dragon Kick? One Ilm? Nope. Ninjas and their Goad? Dancing Edge? DRG Battle Litany? SMN with Virus or Eye for an Eye? Are those not support abilities akin to FR. Dancing Edge looks like its a repeatable debuff useful for any melee. Pretty sure WAR's use it too. Let stop pretending BRD buffs are THAT special without their own unique/special weaknesses. You can only do one at a time, LONG cast times, 2 of the 3 come with a damage debuff and are slow ticks on recovery. How exactly are we supposed to use Warden's Paean? Randomly pick a target and hope that there'll be a "detrimental effect" coming after 3 and within 30 seconds? That WAY overcompensates for any CD or short timer available for the others.
