Are role actions a nerf?

[Ama_Hamada]

Factually incorrect. Bard's have a skill called Keepers paean that's an esuna/status shield, antidotes, spine drops, and other status negating items are already in the game as well, so you may want to rethink that.

You might to rethink there is other levels in the game besides 58-60. Leeches at 40 always sucked, and this new system makes it even worse, what a joke.
