    Embolden goes from 10% to 2% on 20 sec; it's an average of 5% buff for 20 sec; it's 7% for the first 16 seconds ... Brotherhood is 5% for 15 sec.
    Explain me how embolden is worst than Brotherhood

    30% chance to gain chakra when anybody affected by it uses a weaponskill. It would be similar if during embo's duration we had passive mana generation.

    Also consider the job giving it vastly outdpses RDM, if we're gonna do 1:1 comparisons.

    Someone did the math and the damage it brings Brotherhood is in fact, superior to Embolden despite Monk personal damage being really close to the top.

    Embolden wouldnt be so bad if they gave it to a high dps class such as Samurai, giving him a small raid buff to compensate for his high damage and avoiding a class to become too op (anyone still remembers 2.0 bards pre nerf when they were basically BLMs with bow, instacast and crazy utility that some people made raids with 4 bards as dps?). Problem is that they gave it to the lowest dps job that utility wise only have a res on high content, not counting the fact its been years since we are on a physical meta, which detracts from bringing casters unless they are really good
