However I hardly think that buffing Brd/Mch damage so that you can cut out Nin and Mnk for the 4th slot would be a nice thing to do, considering they already wrestle with Brd comps who want the second caster.

It'd be like the days of early coil where everyone wanted multiple Bards because their damage was so overtuned for what else they brought to the table.
Of course buffing their dps to MNK and NIN level would be a bad idea, but I don't think that if the penalty was halved to make BRD+MCH groups more viable, it would be evil in any way.

Personally as MCH I would love to be able to play with my friends who main BRD, instead of fighting with them for a spot.
