For me, it's the lack of keeping the old style of Jobs, I LIKED playing songs and having them go for 45 seconds at a time, I LIKED Synergy buffs like the crit rate up.

What I don't like is them essentially making BRD the new SMN and making the songs essentially Stances. Leave the ONLY DoT Caster alone, I know DoT's are still there but having them relegated to a stance so you don't get that damage going out the gate feels terrible to think about.

I just rewatched BRD's Segment and I do Not like it at all. Songs are not songs, You can't Spam AoE Skills to mow down Mobs. And No, You can't just keep spamming the one Song for AoE Moves.

BRD Didn't need to get gutted.
