I'm disgusted with the bard nerf.

Bards are supposed to be the lowest DPS in game with their utility. Give dragoons and blackmages the ability to support the entire group and we can talk about having bard's dps on par with them.

Support which is very useful atm in fcob. Not to mention (I mained BRD for first 6 monthsish of FFXIV) are able to keep up constant damage while moving, something BLM and SMN has to work around, moving=loss of deeps. Or melee which have to deal with all the PBAE (point blank area affect).

A well played BRD will throw out some impressive damage and use ballads when needed without having a massive impact on their damage abilities. Of course not as high as melee for obvious reasons.
