ShB bard has turned me into a ball of rage and depression

[HyoMinPark]

I job in a video game should never make you "a giant ball of depression". You taking that waaaaay too seriously.

Anyway, I to was a BRD main for years now and felt they gutted a lot of it's utility to where it just feels like FFXI Ranger now and then gave DNC a lot of utility. I saw this coming a mile away and knew I was changing jobs in 5.0 anyway and I've been a BRD main for 4 years now. I also just needed to revitilize my experience in this game so in ShB I was first leveling other jobs.

If a person only really plays one job because it’s the only one they enjoy and the job ends up being neutered as a result, I can understand the frustration behind it. Even if the phrasing borders on hyperbolic. I’ve mained BRD since I started this game. I left it when I heard it was losing the things about it I enjoyed the most. I’ll still level it eventually, but I don’t think it will be the same.

EDIT because stupid posting limits:

BRD may have lost utility, but from what I've noticed it does very solid damage.

It did solid damage back in Stormblood—it was actually far stronger than it was supposed to be. But that was never the reason why BRD mains mained the job. They mained it for the support aspect. At least for me, I didn’t want some Big D DPS when it came to BRD; I wanted the support and the raid contribution aspect of it. If I wanted the former, then I would have played something like BLM.
