If you want BRD to do more damage (which it should) then it needs to also be homogenized further and avoid situations where they are superior due to multi-dotting and be more in line with the other ranged. I just hope SE considers this otherwise they won't be able to buff BRD like how they can't really buff RDM because it has insane raise potential.

To be fair that's be design as nobody wants to go back to the time when double ranged was meta. Even the double caster meta is dumb, but hopefully SE will bring the nerf hammer for SMN.
