Bard Too Bursty?

[RiceisNice]

I'm not going to say BRD is overpowered or not. But I am going to say that as of this most recent patch I fear Ranged DPS far more than I fear melees. If you agree with that kind of design, then all the power to you. I don't play DPS but I feel a top-level Melee will do more than a top-level ranged, but on average I fear BRD more than NIN/MNK/DRG.

Well in something like feast, you can't really compare what a ranged job can do over a melee job, considering you can't take a BRD or any other ranged over a melee in any case. They have the burst, but lack any resemblance of a lockdown or relible caster pressure through sustained dps, and especially the lack of a melee LB.

Never underestimate the power of lb. That is an significant advantage meele's have over ranged.

I don't know about that. As much as people fight on bridges, I can hit the entire group of four with mine quite often. Sometimes leads to a double, or even triple kill, if one of the first deaths is the healer.

People realize that MCH was OP. So they nerf them.
People ARE NOW REALIZING that BRD is OP. Hoping for a NERF. Whats next? A DRG nerf?
Please guys blame the player. Not the class.

Idk I guess there arent many awesome BRDs on primal or I havent run into em yet cause they dont seem overpowered to me. I'm already sad they nerfed duration of our slow and skewer on DRG.

You haven't run into Nahtaivel yet? Dude does some work on our data center.

There's nothing you can do about that bard burst when the enemy has a brd+tank combo and the healer is stunlocked/silenced, then knockbacked. If the bard bursts during this time, someone is def dead. If it's me, then expect everyone else to die right after. Easy win for them, GG no Re.
