They're the same thing. Shoulda left BRD as it was and added more support skills, and if they want this Aim/Charge thing, they should of slapped on Machinist and called it new.
Not put it on both physical range DPS. That's stupid. I'm personally upset we get a rare to use support skill.
BRDs complained that they don't do as much damage as melee or BLMs. So SE listened and added a way for them to boost their damage. But they couldn't just boost their damage and not require a trade off. That would make them incredibly OP. So the trade off is precisely the reason they did lower damage to begin with... mobility.

But SE, being fairly generous, only made the "Aim time" 1.5s, which is still enough time to escape any AoE due to being able to move after hitting 75% charge. So BRD gameplay essentially didn't change at all.

The only people who are complaining are those who ran around during combat for no reason whatsoever. Anyone who did any serious content actually realizes that it's detrimental to do that, as you could adversely affect someone else in the party. Which is why BRDs who do content like Coil or Alex Savage don't complain... they don't have a reason to. For us, nothing about BRD changed except we get 30% more damage and extra oGCD skills. Awesome!
