I think what I'd like to see from 3.1 BRD is Straight Shot getting changed. I'd want it to go from ...

Current BRD Straight Shot: 70 TP, 20% proc chance from Heavy Shot, 140 potency

to

Theoretical future Straight Shot: 60 TP, 40% proc chance from Heavy Shot, 120 potency

I think this would solve a LOT of BRD's clunkiness and issues. You'd be able to use oGCDs cleanly much more often, as well as having a more reliable movement tool for planned movement, and it'd be a very slight TP buff so BRD wouldn't go OoT faster than most. To compensate, since I think BRD's DPS is quite fine where it is in raw output, tone down the potency so that much more frequent Straight Shots and less clipping with oGCDs wouldn't necessarily give BRD a DPS boost. This is also a change that wouldn't require any mechanical tinkering with the class, since as we all know SE doesn't do changes beyond number shifts in the extreme majority of their balance patches.
