Wide Volley and Grenado Shot are an essential part of the BRD and MCH toolkit and are widely used to deal with large groups alongside their other AoE's (Bishop Autoturret and Flaming Arrow/Rain of Death). If they'd end up upping the damage, fine. If they remove it, I'd see very little reason to play BRD anymore, because then it would be massively outclassed by DRG and MNK.
And to add to this, BRD and MCH has the ability to pop all their buffs at once to skyrocket their mobbing damage, and BRD especially has resource-free Rain of Death to sustain it (though it heavily relies on RNG and requires setup beforehand - as in Straight Shot -> Windbite on 3 mobs first before you go to town). Ideally mob packs will be dead or nearly so by the time you run out of TP, and if not, there's your party TP regen to get you back up (though while it reduces your damage, it's far better than standing there like an idiot).
