    While there is some truth to that, a BRD player even pointed out that the disparities in support simply look good on paper. Need to lower incoming damage (on BRD)? Better make sure the right song is playing and Troub it. MCH? Time it right and wrench it. 2% crit up and 3% DH up are quite nice, but neither guaranteed. Hypercharge is straight damage up for the duration. Nature's Minne is quite nice, but you can live without it just like you can live without Mantra or an aoe Bole.

    I'm not downplaying BRD (ere the beancounters come thundering in to silence my heresy), but I'm simply noting that while the list looks great, it's not quite as consistent - and this came FROM a BRD. And while MCH could do with more support options (or finally cross over the line into "pure" DPS territory), we're not really at a loss for it, nor should any parties so vehemently bypass them for a BRD. If your party needs the support, by all means, but you're in no way hindered having a MCH.
