RIP MCH

[Gallus]

People complained about MCH being too weak in 3.0, apparently it wasn't...
People complained about the massive AST buffs and how they'd overshadow the WHM, they didn't... and they are futher buffing AST...

With all due respect but people never get tired of complaining about stuff and then time repeatedly proving they are wrong over and over again?

I mean yeah, there are times where jobs need some help or are a bit too strong, but jumping the gun so fast saying RIP MCH when the BRD buffs are still only on the patch notes and haven't even been released XD... the only thing you accomplish with this is SE taking players less serious...

So random thought:

Wanderer's Minuet does not make sense for BRD because BRD is supposed to be mobile. What if it was changed so that instead of granting extra damage at the cost of cast time (and no auto) it made BRD songs apply a debuff effect to enemies instead of a buff to allies and vice versa?

Just throwing ideas out but Mage's Ballad would change to debuff enemies Magic Damage output, Army's Paeon would debuff their physical damage, Foe Reqium instead of debuffing enemy magic resistance increases the rate the LB gauge fills for allies.

I would approve of this. That would make WM feel like it fit the theme of the class better, than a tacked on mechanic stolen from another job because the devs figured no one would play MCH if bard didn't have their own version of the GB

MCH for Melee setups, BRD for caster setups.

They didn't really buff BRD, SE just balanced him.
