As I said, there are other ways to make paladins better than gladiators in a balanced party without ruining the balance of the system.
I do want to see BRD being used for its purpose, but I think its kind of silly that it basically NEEDS to refresh the PLD and likely the WHM. What about the other 5 people? They aren't necessarily mages and may be too close to the WHM or PLD where it's not easy to give them too many buffs. That and BRD should still be able to DD some rather than run around singing to everyone.
