I don't mind the DPS nerfs. I was expecting to see Blood for Blood vanish completely. If anything, I was expecting less DPS and more movement towards support.

But Rain of Death? WTH? People complained we should be more support than DPS. So.. come the patch, we lose a tiny bit of burst DPS... and completely lose a SUPPORT ability? What is up with -10% evasion? That's utterly pointless.

Some people said it would be useful for members who didn't have enough accuracy. That's not very comparable. If it were being used for a lack of accuracy, the BRD would have to try to keep it for most of the fight. As it were pre-patch, BRD would only need to throw up RoD at certain points in time to cover a mob's burst damage (i.e. Titan tumults).

I use Rain of Death all of the time in Endgame content.. specifically P5 Titan HM, Caduceus' splits, Dreadknoughts, and Twintania. Even better when stacked with Virus... and Virus got nerfed too?

BRD got dumbed down. x_x
