Is Bard still getting the shaft for groups despite their recent buffing?

[Esp]

I've recently come across a couple ppl on my server who, despite the brd buff of 3.3 iirc the patch number, they would still pick a mch over brd because of the few hundred dps more a mch can bring to the table.

This is hard to hear since you and I are on the same server. Both MCH and BRD are fine regardless of who you take.

I haven't heard of anyone so far looking for only MCH and there have been PFs that are looking for either roles for statics, so the ones that are thinking BRDs are worse off right now are foolish, misinformed, and probably not a group you want to be a part of from the start..

One example of where I heard this was from someone in my own fc who said unless a brd could match or surpass a mch's numbers, they would pick a mch. Made me wonder if they see brd still as being that weak in raid situations. It's because of what he said in ts that I got to wondering if that was a general mindset or just the few ppl on our server I know who've said it recently in fc/ls's, not to me personally, but in general conversations so I made this post to see if it's just a personal mindset or what.
