I think brd is fine where it's at. If you play the job well, keep your dots up 100% of the time, use all your cooldowns right and aren't loaded down by piles of acc and skill speed instead of det and crit (like all those full auroral brds) you can be right up there with the big boys. Yes, head to head, brd does less dps than the other pure dps jobs, but the ability to move freely without losing anything more than a few auto attacks, tends to edge us back up. It's not uncommon for a brd to be near the top on any fight with a lot of dodging/mechanics, unless you find yourself needing to use ballad.
