At 95th percentile in 5.1, BRD's total contribution is the lowest of all DPS

And no... I'm changing this into a NIN discussion. I just wanted to point out they have improved a bit. So... which job do you think could be last in the DPS list? If not BRD...

Well it's kind of interesting because SE said they didn't give BRD stronger raid buffs as if they did, they'd have to reduce their DPS considerably.

It looks like this "considerable reduction" happened anyways, but BRD didn't really get much for it.

As for which job should be last, well, I think the whole band could afford to be narrowed a bit. Summoner is too high, bard is too low.

Beyond that, it is usually utility vs DPS, ie mages with rez and mobility should be lower than mages without. This was the justification for Dancer being so low on the list too. But now bard is in that position, yet also offers (much) less utility than dancer and less DPS than machinist.
