This missing the entire point of the argument. No one said Bard didn't contribute good rDPS and utility. All that was said is only physical ranged jobs are dependent on Piercing for a big chunk of their personal DPS buff, and only one job can apply whereas Slashing can be applied by three. Therefore, another job should have access to Piercing or just remove it from the game.
