BRD has 9 utility skills, on top of being mobile. I understand those mechanics literally stop you from doing anything but what about the other half of mechanics that a BRD can still continue to do their thing with no hindrance? Oh you need to stack? Keep shooting. Oh you need to dodge Thunder 3? Np just keep shooting.

It makes "sense" for them to be lower but I think that has more to do with the DRG nerfs, and with so much of their kit revolving around crit, in later tiers they will be back to end of HW DPS.

Bringing so much to a raid team on top of being the most unaffected DPS class when it comes to mechanics = lower than the rest.
