Bad bards will now suck as bad black mages.
BLM has higher base damage. If both the bard and blm are equally geared and equally skilled the blm will always outparse the brd. Specially considering brd will be giving him extra damage with foe requiem. We are talking about a 30k dmg difference at the very least (before 2.1).

You don't even have an offensive limit break as bard to finish the heart, its impossible to solo the heart as bard with no other person attacking it.

It isn't on par. And we aren't quite complaining about the B4B and IR nerfs. They want to nerf our DPS? I can take it.
But to nerf RoD? That's one of bard's biggest utility skill.
