Tier list!

[Isala]

The moment you drop WM/GB, your damage plummets and starts to fluctuate big time. At this point (especially when we don't have damage penalty when attacking closer than 15 yards), you're better off just using feint while chasing down. But that's hardly exclusive to BRD since even SMN and BLM can do that too through dots or lethargy+procs (considering the enemy heals isn't present if you really are chasing them down).

Right. Feint is a 120+30% bonus for an over all 156 potency, compared to a 150 HS unbuffed. Which is why I use the non-WM time to put up the DoTs instead, get my SS off, and switch over to WM again, for Feint spam. And while, no, they're not saying in here, they are saying it there. When your own party is disappointed that they got a BRD over any other ranged, there's a slight issue in BRDs image.

Which has nothing to do with tier placement or even job balance for that matter, really.

On the contrary. When everyone talks about how X sucks for [actual reasons], a ton of people ignore reasons, and just see X sucks.

I'd say sucks is a strong word for brd . Not as good as it could be? Yeah but sucks? No way. That's just ignorance on the part of people who you seem to get in solo plus at least on our data center most ranged players just aren't that good in my experience. Dark knight is the only class that sucks and scholar to a smaller degree. Especially with the upsurge of monks
