Bard in the party... thoughts?

[Kelevra]

Chaos Thrust is more potency than Full thrust. A DRG would still be doing their chaos thrust combo regardless of if there was another job providing piercing or not.

Infact, most compositions already have DRG in it anyway, it'd be ultimately pointless give BRD a piercing buff to "boost their dps", espesically when their dps is going to be balanced around that (much like how MCH's dps is "boosted" by hypercharge)



And homogenize the two more than they already are? BRD doesn't need a physical debuff just as how MCH doesn't need a good magic debuff (because bishop hypercharge is pretty terrible and is an extremely poor man's option for a caster comp)

They've also insisted numerous times that MCH and BRD both fill the same niche of the "Dps support" role.

like I said, it's a suggestion (my mistake on the Drg combo potency)

'Most?' maybe. But not every group does and Bard needs something for itself when a Drg isn't present (my static is with Mnk and Nin as the melee atm). That's why I said either the piercing debuff or adjusting Foe's to properly affect Windbite and Flaming Arrow.
