I hate that BRD is so dependent on DRGs Buffs/Debuff

So actually you are upset about your own choice playing a support dd cls which makes less dmg than a raw dd class?... Brd is absolut fine in personal dps if you consider their tons of grp utility. : /

That's not the issue, it's the the fact it's a specific tethering of the classes.

I don't think that's what the OP is saying, though I could be wrong. As it stands, BRD/MCH are the only two physical DPS roles that do not apply their own damage debuff to increase their DPS-- SAM/NIN both have skills to apply slashing, MNK has Dragon Kick to apply blunt, DRG applies piercing. BRD/MCH have no such debuff, and if the developers are keen to keep the resistance debuffs in the game, then it would be nice to give BRD/MCH a way to apply the piercing debuff to mobs so that they can maximize their own damage.

While the reason behind playing a BRD is not "pure damage" and rather "party support," it does still kind of suck that BRD/MCH have to remain reliant on a DRG to apply a very basic damage debuff.

Thank you finally someone that understands the problem..
