Bard in FF14 is so much like Hunter without Pet in Ragnarok Online

[HyoMinPark]

And I have been talking about bard identity that buffs the party especially damage buffs all go to DNC. Since you brag about rDPS and aDPS, you might want to get the definition or their formulae correct first before straw manning to other topics.

You are so hung up on the differences in aDPS and the number of buffs DNC gives that you completely ignore that BRD's rDPS - despite Battle Voice being their only raid buff - is STILL HIGHER THAN DNC's. rDPS is the only metric that matters, so you need to drop this obsession you have with aDPS because those numbers are not important.

I've already mentioned that they won't be able to remove abilities. It's a wishful thinking. But they didn't

1) Change the sound?
2) Bring back FR?

While SAM and SCH all got abilities back? This gotta be a joke.
Well, the Q/A was pretty obvious why they didn't.

Bringing back Foe Requiem would be a far larger change compared to giving SCH an Aetherflow dump and SAM a Sen management skill. Those are more quality of life than direct buffs to damage. Bringing back Foe's would be a direct buff to BRD's rDPS, which would mean that the other two physical ranged may have to be adjusted to compensate for any disparity that may occur.
