I agree that all jobs should be well rounded like MNK but this is what was dealt to jobs like BRD/DRG/MCH. All they can do is burst. Making it seem like its a guarenteed KO every time you burst will just lead ppl to believe you've never actually tried the job yourself. The job has red flags telling you a burst is coming that alone nulls this fallacy of an argument.
I personally don't believe all these career bards are a good representation of what the bard class can do. And again I don't say bards are overpowered, just the way they are implemented is very stupid and even though you can spot the red flags, it doesn't mean you can just automatically stop it. A good bard would wait for a situation in a game where they can get it off without getting messed up by stun etc. That is what I mean by good bards. Same applies to whether or not a melee can land a LB, everyone knew that melee LB was overpowered, but you could always you know, move behind a melee to cancel the LB or stun/knockback/etc. Doesn't change that it was stupid how defining melee LB was for melees and I can't appreciate how SE designed bards to be centered around burst that can potentially just outright kill someone within a second.
