BARD NERF, does it have to be done by removing abilities???

yeah because you see plenty of marauders running around in endgame doing dps in dungeons maybe ... if we go by your logic, then lets compare bard dps to every non specialized class, because they can get the most buffs out of all classes, but still doing less damage than having the crystal ON... the game isnt being balanced so you can farm mobs with pseudo dps builds, the game is being balanced so you can run endgame content on same level has other classes of the same role. if your going to bring up the "marauder" compare it to the "duelist" since their on the same role, if you want to talk about the bard, then compare it to the dragoon, monk, black mage and the summoner ... you dont go around comparing the lancer pugilist thaumaturge and the arcanist...

but to make you happy ill compare the bard to the "marauder" and tell even if the marauder weapon has 5 more damage, even if they get all the buffs of every dps class, they will still losing a ton of dps compared to the bard, BECAUSE, the job crystal alone bumps up your stats a ton!
