Jobs are balanced equally and no class is considered meta.

Because BRD is one of the easiest jobs to negate. You realize the vid was 6s but the burst was 1.5s, right? Should we be counting the time it takes a bard to get two dots rolling, to pop their buffs, and their cast time?

BRD is not OP.

I mean, I suppose taking 6 seconds to kill a Diurnal AST who didn't disable you, or do anything but run away and Tetra. proves something... Mostly that people are really, really bad in PvP. But, as people have said, a BRD can do that in the spam of 2.5 seconds... So... How is MCH OP?

In most cases, you're not going to have time to prepare yourself and sufficiently mitigate yourself for a random MCH or Bard coming in.
Heck, did you see how fast his HP went down? Essentially diginity can't even heal you that damn fast because server ticks, there was nothing he could do, especially if he already blew attunement.

Also I'm pretty sure the consensus is MCH AND Bard is OP.

With that said, oh look, MCH was nerfed! Almost as if it was needed or something.

In the patch notes:

Between the Eyes
Potency when target is bound, stunned, or asleep has been reduced from 3 times normal damage to 2.5 times normal damage.

Yay, all the noobs whining has lead to a nerf... and yet melee LB still does 9k...

[KusoWat]

If only it did 9k normally...

If you think mch is balanced...

You're comparing a LIMIT BREAK, to a normal job rotation?
This is why we can't balance things in PvP for crap.

No I'm comparing a limit break to an ability that requires every single MCH buff including a 3 min one, has special requirements in bind, sleep or stun, 2 of which can be broken by other people attacking and requires a critical hit which has about a 1 in 3 chance of proccing all of that to still do LESS damage than the melee LB which is basically stun + win button. Yeah, totally OP.

[KusoWat]

Mfw cc requirement for bte is brought up.

Why can't we admit that both are stupidly broken and need to be looked at? They're not mutually exclusive when it comes to balance.

BRD is not OP.

dots are not needed for PvP, they can "one shot combo" without them, the only warning is the cast time on emp arrow, once that goes off, and you are not ready to heal it, even with Lustrate/ Benediction, the person is gone, unless tank.

Also between the eyes is more common around 2-5k, you guys are seeing rng damage spikes, MCH is pretty useless without it. Also melee LB/ latency issues are in need of more of addressing, maybe the server upgrade and move will help with being melee lbed 3 miles away and though a wall. I will never forget being IN SPRINT, while running AWAY from the person, BEFORE! the sound happened, and was released with me being behind one of those walls in feast. I am really dumbfounded how this game's latency is ssooo bad.
