job balancing discussion (1.22a-hotfix)

[Duelle]

IMO Bards should not be contenders for 'on par' damage. They should be on a tier slightly below, as they offer more to damage than just their own performance. Unless of course, you want to take a "Cleric's Stance" approach to all this.

Anything below the mythical 5% is going to turn them into second class citizens. Nerfing damage is not going to help the class in popularity, because "killing enemies with bow&arrow while buffing allies with songs" has a nicer ring than "song spam bitch with notably lesser overall DPS".

Less popular but still important when balancing encounters then creates the princess BRD again.
