I'm disgusted with the bard nerf.

tbh, everyone agree that brd was a bit OP before with top tier dps + high mobility. Now they tuned down the dps, I think which is totally fine.

Again the issue is not the dps, is technical removalmof the rain of death as a (useful) support skill

yes I understand that, but consider BRD still has 3 skills which is like must needed for most party. Their role as support/dps is still quite solid. Before it is like "must needed support" + "super dps", not it become "still must needed support" + "decent dps".

Consider this BRD is always required for any 8 man party doesn't matter if they change RoD or not. This fact alone means a lot. There is no dps class out there received the same amount of love as a BRD. And more important, everyone BRD out there should've expect they will get nerfed in this patch. In fact the "nerf" is a lot minor than lots of ppl have expected. Balancing the game is a tougher job than ppl think, because there is 9 job in the game, not just 1 or 2 or 3. And imho they did fine with the BRD balance.

Again, Bard is not like some super dps people tend to believe. They do very well in titan due fight design. In fact Bard is at the bottom tier in term in dps in coil. Losing rod will made things harder for everyone, not just bard.

This thread... many lols were had. Just want to thank you all <3

Yay I don't have to RoD anymore in turn 5! Overall, a pretty minor nerf with something I can't figure out for the life of me... does some other class get an attack down debuff now?

[Xellos2099]

War have a single target one which is not helpful at all for turn 1 or turn 4

The nerf isn't as bad as I was expecting. I was expecting worse.

[EinSoFZ]

Always kind of disliked using RoD anyway if only because I have enough of my TP being consumed, so I don't really mind that they altered it.....but what kind of shit is reducing evasion? I mean, make it something with some kind of practical use for the TP cost and not an additional effect I feel free to ignore altogether.

Unless SE plans on adding some crazy evasive monsters to the game.

[Empressia]

IS reducing enemy evasion by 10% equals to increase accuracy by 10% too?if it is, well thats quite a buff u know esp with some nerf to BiS gears with tons of accuracy
