Bard nerf is good

You are peak Dunning-Krueger my dude

Pro tip: you are not as clever as you think you are, and the way you're unpacking what you believe to be dev reasoning for an unwarranted nerf shows that your understanding and knowledge of the game are very lacking. Players who are better than you, who have gotten better results than you, are trying to tell you why you're wrong. If you don't want to believe them bc you think you're some sort of genius stuck in elo hell, then just stay stuck I guess LOL

Wait, so out of the Top 30 players two of them, aka 1/15 were a Bard? With 19 jobs in the game? And you use that as evidence that Bard is weak?

See the survivorship bias. The argument also wasn't that BRD was absolutely weak--if that were the case, it would end up like one of the many jobs that were not represented at all in T30 mains. The argument was that BRD wasn't STRONG--still playable, but not strong. Definitely weak relative to the jobs represented in T100. In any case, the other BRD main switched to RDM and I retired from Top 100 gameplay bc it wasn't worth the stress. So now there are.....no BRD mains in T30, as of last Season.

That's exactly it. Bard needs the rest of its kit improved rather than forcing this lame playstyle of staying at max range. Silent Nocturne is still the central Bard ability and to range nerf it made the job a million times more interesting.

If you think that playing optimally at max range is lame and boring and easy, in a game that is filled to the brim with gap closers and crowd control... Like if that's not your cup of tea, cool. But some of us enjoy that challenge, and BRD was the only job that really catered to that playstyle. You must be the guy who thinks snipers are overpowered in shooter games bc you have no idea how to take cover or flank their positions.
