Hit level 70? How do you feel your class will perform in End Game?

Been 70 for a few days now on BRD and personally speaking, I feel at End Game level the class could be more refined. With how the 4 big fights are in the game, Susano, Lakishm, Zenos, and Shin, the game looks to be going toward a more frantic AoE dodge fest, while BRD excels at this since we can dps and move again, having to dart your eyes from AoE indicators, party status, managing DoTs, song gauge, and skills, your eyes are all over the place.

Some skills feel more clunky then they should, Reflugent Arrow doesn't refresh Straight Shot, and Nature's Minne could be very great if it worked in the fashion Mantra did by granting the buff to all party members rather than one.

The role actions aren't really helpful either, as tactician and refresh used to be Ballad and Paeon, the removal of the damage reduction is great but having to put on 2 skills we previously had, takes away from other potential role actions, we need Invigorate, so that's your 3rd slot, leaving 2 slots for second wind, silence, heavy, stun, palisade, or throw on the new swiftsong. Depending what you pick here, stun is only useful in melee range, heavy might be a great choice, as is silence, but that would again be using a slot for a skill we already had, second wind can help in some personal situations, and palisade is ok even with the high cd, but the new swiftsong is entirely useless in battle.

So do I think BRD is going to perform amazingly at End Game? Ya, I can see BRD being widely needed, and a top damage class, but at an individual level? I think BRD has a bit of an adjustment curve that might sway some people towards classes that don't have to watch out for a varied amount of timers and situations.

But how about some other classes, how does your prefered class feel at End Game level?
