Bard in the party... thoughts?

MCH >>> BRD at this moment as can be seen in A6S or short farm fights like Sephirot Extreme. MCH's burst is just insane and not many parties seem to be stacking 2 casters now, so the hypercharge is epic too. Foe+BV, paen and RoD (for bursting healers) cannot really beat the damage MCH brings to party now.

Pretty much every HC/MC group on my server is rocking MCH now (even parties that had BRD before, just check Ragnarok progression thread, no parties with BRD, there is a reason for that xD). Fortunately my static can deal with the fact that I enjoy BRD (been playing it nonstop since 2013) and don't want to level MCH and do i230 relic again. But if I had the possibility of choice I would definitely go MCH now. There is no reason to go BRD.
