How is this Balanced? (Bard)

[Isala]

Wish people would make up their minds. We've gone from "BRDs are the worst class ever in PvP, below even BLM." to "BRDs are the most broken class in PvP, above even WAR."

But yeah, if you're getting bursted as an AST, you're doing something horribly wrong anyway. ASTs are actually among the most difficult classes to burst, because of those instant Noct shields. You could have disabled and shielded, you could have Attuned, there were so many things you COULD have done... But instead, you played Diurnal, and died.. And complained about OP BRDs.
