Bard in the party... thoughts?

[Kelevra]

And then throw out casters? Giving BRD a piercing debuff doesn't even make sense because it's not going to level them to where MCH is. Again, Yoshi's stance on BRD/MCH is that they both sahre the same role of "support" dps. MCH is not a full dps job as much something as the melee/casters are.

The response wasn't to make it seem like casters would be less important or not needed as much. All I was trying to say is maybe people wouldn't always have to default to the common dps composition of Melee, Melee, Ranged, Caster all the time if Brd had access to the piercing debuff. Maybe. You say giving Brd a piercing debuff doesn't make sense and won't help them.....before those Mch changes, I didn't think an additional 5% to Hypercharge and the Gauss Round change would help them as much either.

I've given my suggestions earlier, but I don't think Brd needs all the buffs for improvement (I want a few improvements, just not something 'overkill' like stated earlier). Just one thing (or two) to help it out a bit. If not the piercing debuff then, adjust Foe's. If not that, then something else.
