Personally i consider Brd to bee too good, but not really OP or asking him to get nerfed, actually I'd rather have the game make other choices more attractive. Even encounters design should be used to impact meta, some jobs should have "THAT thing" that makes them shine, that something that could make you say "Dude, if I had come as a SAM/BLM we could have killed this so much faster". I know it's hard to make it happen, but frankly i'd rather SE takes their time to add layers to the combat, I'd rather not repeat what happened on wow with them removing all buffs to the point only your pdps matter (and some gimmick like Warlock gates). It make the game boring in my opinion
