BRD falls pretty heavily into the basket of jobs that are focused on AoE pressure and peel. DNC or SCH are other culprits, but not as much as BRD and they have other strengths.

BRD damage party buffs are potent, but mostly on the long run, and so they are more diffuse and don't fit well within an all CC/burst meta. The LB is also in a similar spot (extremely underwhelming), and even the AoE damage is there to inflate its endgame tally numbers, which is deceiving. The only thing that fits within the CC/burst meta is Nocturne.

If there is one thing that doesn't shine as much as it could (or actually did in Feast with SCH), it's AOE pressure on party resources (HP/MP) and it's a lot less fundamental than it used to be in the previous mode, even though burst was also the determining factor, as usual.
