BRD/MCH Weapon Damage

[Lillia]

Could we have a upgrade to physical damage in our weapons? We're quite a bit lower than other physical jobs, this includes tanks because they of course need to keep aggro from other dps who can do higher numbers... but for example we could maybe have our ilvl 170 wep go to 63 while ilvl 180 goes up to 66 then hive weapon would be 68?

Others would still have a bit of an up on us by 4 on their hive (current highest wep) which is at 72 dmg currently.

This is of course just a small thing that i wanted to ask of SE, because our increase in wep dmg as we upgrade just feels a little small when looking at the numbers of other phys weps.

As it stands, this is what our current ilvl 170 weps look like. I am with an ilvl180 bow atm so that's where the damage change is coming from in the images.

Bard/Machinist

Paladin/Warrior (These are just the job weps that I chose to show, all of the phys are the same aside bard and machinist.)

Edit: I'll understand if this can't be done due to balance issues, I just saw the numbers of our weapons in comparison to others and wanted to give this a chance of being noticed and maybe... just maybe increased without breaking the balance.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Thanks, the support is appreciated.

Bard, and especially MCh, are totally FUBAR right now. SE noticed that Bard was in a bad place and said they'll be getting buffs in the future to make Minuet less trash. No word on MCH though.

Yeah, I'd honestly like word for all the MCH's too. But I think both of our wep damage is also one of the influences of low dps as well which had no comment directed at it... I actually don't even know if anyone on the forums ever brought it up either.

It's been brought up a lot actually. Again, no word from SE about it.

That's a shame then. I can only hope they'd reply here. But from the looks of it, that is just wishful thinking at best. Oh well, at least I tried to voice it out along with others, guess we'll have to wait and see what changes roll in!

The problem is that they needed Bard damage because they can dps while on the move but melee dps are really so good that mechanics do not really even hinder their dps because they have figured out ways around it i.e. "The Bok Choy" method on T13. So we don't need the nerf, right?? We already get our 15% loss when we Ballad or Paeon so no nerf is needed there. I just don't get it.

I don't know if the damage on the weapons can be called a nerf as no changes were directly done to them since they've been added and it is an increase from what we had before 3.0.

But the damage gap between us and the other physical jobs is vastly different and it'd definitely be great if we weren't so far under them for sure. This isn't an issue for bard alone either, machinist is actually having almost the same if not exactly the same issues too.
