How is this Balanced? (Bard)

[Dimitrii]

BRD has strong burst yes but that particular GIF that guy just got lucky he crit that Sidewinder along with the Farshot, its not like it happens everytime. Their burst is contingent on having WM up along with their buffs so if you ignore them like that they will of course blast you away no different from a BLM allowed to free cast. If you focus/pressure them to the point of forcing them to drop WM they become very noticeably weak, and all they can do is pad their dmg dealt with garbage numbers while attacking on the run since any burst done without it up will not be anywhere near as deadly. And even if they can burst every 90 seconds every other burst will have to be done without Raging Strikes up. For sidewinder to even have a chance to hit as hard as his did not only does the brd need to put up both dots (and hope the target doesn't cleanse), but then he also has to have raging strikes available on top of hoping it crits. I honestly don't think its that big of a deal. You can nerf it I guess but then there's no point in using BRD anymore. Its similar to DRG in that unlike MNK/BLM/NIN that burst is all the job has going for it. Wanderers paeon is nice and all but if thats all the job brings to the table along with mediocre burst may as well bring something else. Nerf it and ppl will just migrate to another job like MNK or MCH. Its not like the rankings are crawling with a bunch of awesome BRDs anyway the job is actually noticeably absent among the top 100 currently in primal.

Edit: Also I suggest having the brd on focus target, not the mnk.

This guy gets it.
