Yoshi-P Sanpo comments re: Bard

[Akiudo]

The thing is, bard hasn't really been that far behind. The needle needed to be nudged, and it's been nudged.

If Dancer didn't exist, bard would have perhaps been fine as is. The real problem is that Dancer is basically Bard Plus. More utility than bard, more DPS than bard. This buff should, at least, fix the latter.

same dps, less utility is still "allways worse" maybe not at the "low end" but certainly everywhere above 90%. look at 50% or even 75% and you will see mch dominate both dnc and bard, mch simply is stronger than both of them, clearly stronger, their pittance of support doesn't hold a candle to 300-500 extra dps (that will be after the buffs) at that percentile level.

the only place dancer on the other hand right now holds any real ground is in a top end setting, but there comes the problem that you can only take one, the area where dancer starts to excell is the level where people will in fact exclude a class for "same dps, less utility" so this "needle nudging" changed exactly nothing, bard still is "a clearly worse mch" until you reach the 90% area and a worse dancer afterwards.
