That "thing" has been around forever. It's not new. People made thread after thread calling out for a Bard nerf. SE took those into consideration, and perhaps their own numbers, and it happened. If the nerf is too severe or, in retrospect, unnecessary, bards will make thread after thread calling for a buff--and they will get it.

I want to believe SE has better numbers and simulators than us, that informed this decision. The nerf shouldn't be too significant since they're already low damage. Maybe they'll just be more affected by the environmental effects. Their utility will still keep them valuable if that's the case.

I think their numbers are a bit screwy. Last time they did that census thing everything was a bit thrown off because they counted everyone's low level jobs as part of the numbers. 80% of people getting CNJ to lvl 15 doesn't mean that 80% of all healers are WHM's.

haha yes : D

Oh, the nerf stick, went through it as a Warlock many times for being too OP. ARC/BRD is the only class that fits my playing style. Long range and minimum casting time. Eh, so what are they going to do? Either they lower damage or reduce mobility. So if the nerf is substantial, I'll just be a lowbie until a new class arrives and play just to level up crafting and gathering all day, lol. I guess other melees should be happy. One less Bard..I guess that was the point of the nerf, right?

Still waiting to hear some details. I'm not too worried as 2.1 is quite a long ways off. Until then, I'll keep enjoying being the top DPS in any group I happen to be apart of.

Either sarcasm or many you have run with bad groups. Brds are never on top in the groups I run with
