What class needs a buff or nerf?

There was a thread in /r/ffxiv showing a few things that happened after the Live Letter and one of those things was that they are buffing NIN AoE and BRD damage. Sadly I can't find it.

I think this is the one you mean:

Personally, I think Bards do need a few buffs. Although its partly the raid design that's the problem; if there were places where multi dotting and sustained AOE were more useful (Like back in A1 and A2) then Bards would perform a little better.

Some things I'd suggest :

- Instant cast Foes Requiem, so it can be activated in-between attacks without DPS loss (i.e. just like Hypercharge)
- Have Foes Requiem increase the Bards attack power by a small amount while active. Or have a few Bard attacks changed to deal magic damage so they benefit from the Magic Resist down effect.
- More ways of getting Straight Shot procs (add a chance of getting a SS proc when using Iron Jaws, for example), and perhaps give Straight Shot a chance proc an instant cast Heavy Shot.
