If BRD were actually balanced to be a true 'middle of the pack' job then its personal damage output should be closer to like RDM's or SMN's with out touching its raid buffs. Which means increasing the potency of skills like Burst Shot, Refulgent Arrow, its dots, or even lowering the cool down of Barrage to like 60 seconds or less that way it can maintain its own damage outside of buffs. But right now, BRD is pigeonholed into the same spot as DNC

Another thing to consider is the second they nerf PCT (if they do -- but they should), it will be a nerf to BRD, and every other job with a raid buff so thigs like potency buffs should be considered.
