Also, I have seen no evidence that BRDs have a LB3 since Heavensward; fan fiction belongs in a different forum...
Lol what? Prior to Heavensward Bards used the healer limit break. Individual limit breaks didn’t exist nor did the ranged physical limit break. The only fan fiction here is your belief that Bard has always had a pure dps limit break.

As for the first point obviously that’s true but it’s a bit late for that considering tanks lol. I don’t think we should restrict Bards and their capabilities because of poor encounter / healer design; they should make healers fun to play instead. I mean, if we follow this logic then we should remove all support capabilities from Bard entirely, otherwise it devalues Dancer (evidenced by 6.0-6.08). And then there’s the obvious fact that if it’s a dps loss like Vercure suddenly it becomes entirely useless until the moment the healers die (at which point it becomes amazing). Having the choice to help out with healing doesn’t mean you have to spam them at every given opportunity. I mean, I don’t see Red Mages or Dancers spamming Vercure / Curing Waltz with every gcd / on cool-down and invalidating healers, so why would letting Bards help out somehow delete all the healers?
