Bard in the party... thoughts?

You can say "FFlogs proves nothing....ble ble ble" but currently , in Alexander Midas, MCH is doing better DPS than BRD at the same point of gear/skill. It's a fact.

But personal DPS is not "all", i mean, MCH is doing better personal DPS than BRD but with a 2 mages comp, the overall DPS is gonna be worse than with a BRD, then BRD is better than MCH with a 2 Mages comp, it's a fact too.

The true "issue" for BRD here is just the current meta, i mean, 2 meles + 1 ranged + 1 mage. Why this meta?
--Melee comp brings better overall DPS than Mage comp. (Mages just bring personal DPS in terms of overall DPS, They don't have tools like Trick Attack, Battle Litany, Dissembowel, Dragon Kick...etc)

BRD can't be the master of everything, i mean, BRD can't be better than MCH doing enything...BRD is really good with 2 mages comp, but MCH is better with 2 meles, just that. Current BRD's state is a direct consecuence of current meta, it's not by the personal state of BRD/MCH themselves.

BRD doesn't need buffs because current state, maybe in the future 2 mages comp could be the popular meta and the BRD turns into "Best support of the patch".
