I'm not sure how you can adjust BRD's multi target capabilities to be in line with the other ranged though since from what I can tell, it's not a pure potency thing as it's all about procs.

I know BRD is not in good place right now but I don't want it to be overbuffed by accident and/or create another ranged arms race.
IDK. BRD has been, like, an AOE demon for a while, but just that in itself wouldn't necessitate further nerfs which where acceptable, even if unnecessary, outside of the DoTs which were totally unnecessary. If anything the numbers in general need to crunched downwards and rebalanced to like shorten the DPS gap, or buff other jobs to compensate, or vary the damages incurred to NPC based on their scale because Physical-Ranged is already below or falling short of the perceived minimum required damage values. The launch version of AST was super bad enough in terms of DPS to say the least
