How is that homogenization? Unless you mean some other game's variant of Bard like in EQ1 or so, then yeah sure that was a very unique strong support job where removing their highly unique kind of support tooling would be active homogenization.

Bard right now just.. has some damage buffs? Same as ~everybody else? It also works around a 120s burst timing window? Same as everybody else? It also has a few extra tools such as a mitigation group buff, just like quite a lot of other classes have, and multiple of them in fact more of those? What exactly is being homogenized here in removing these tools from bard?
