MCH changes are unfortunate

But if we ARE going to go there, RDM outdamages BRDs, yes? And can help cure in a pinch, AND can raise in a pinch, and Embolden is quite nice. QUITE nice. Damage, support to an even greater degree, and arguably simpler execution. . . Why bring a BRD when you can bring an RDM? Meta said so?

You're being facetious and comparing apples to sausages. It doesn't help anyones argument to shoehorn the comparison of non alike party roles. Plus yes to what you're saying. We've seen it before- when things get out of hand certain classes can transcend even party roles. That's why we have see plenty of all physical groups and Brd + Mch groups.

Because the meta said so. But our current situation isn't meta. There's ZERO instances and party comps where MCH outdoes BRD. That's not meta, that's a bad class (At the moment). We have no quirks, limelight, minutes or moments for MCH- and pretending like that's okay is harmful. It's okay to still love the class and admit it's NOT in a good spot at all.

Right now in a fight if our mana battery utility wasn't necessary at all and no bards were available you can bet your behind that another class would fill our spot better.
