Frankly, all three will need something to compensate for a 5% damage loss. BRD may have great synergy with DRG but it will struggle to make up the difference a SMN or BLM offers. DRG will be in an odd spot since Slashing and Blunt are, technically, stronger than Piercing.
That only tell mch is either too weak or bard is too overpowered. Mch is not supposed to compete between other casters. If one ranged have permanent spot and other 3 casters and mch compete from one spot, something is really wrong.
