A "new" perspective about these BRD changes

Crys a little on the inside...

you ARE right though. If I got ya in a DF party in a dungeon I wouldn't kick you (if we got through the dungeon. I'm patient).
I would, however, silently judge you for eternity.

Honestly if he's still playing the job properly without WM, you're still looking maybe a increase of 3-5 minutes for the dungeon clear, especially this late into overgearing. A BRD that doesn't use WM won't see the same dps deficit as say, a ninja who doesn't even use huton or a DRG not using HT and jumps.
