??? What are these replies even?

People use different compositions because the people they play with want to play certain jobs. Before I quit raiding, my static consisted of BLM/SMN/BRD so we would've been hit with this nerf as well. Why did it consist of those? Because it's what they wanted to play, and it was fine and perfectly viable until this change. It's legitimately completely unnecessary, all they have to do to fix it is separate BRD/MCH from SMN/BLM. It's not like that composition is OP in any way, as stated in this very thread double melee is stronger.
