Has anyone even considered that the nerf to NIN might result in an (albeit unintentional?) nerf for BRD as well? NIN blows through more TP, calls for Paeon are more frequent. Goad can only be used so often (and usually only by request, because NO TP METER). Bard's DPS drops.

It's no use continuing to try and force BRD into a support role that does not exist; in all the content I've done, BRDs never Paeon, Foe infrequently, and Ballad only after being begged (often multiple times), with the excuse being "B-BUT MAH DEEPZ!"
