    Power creep? Lets say u get a group right now that's dps is DRG, MNK, BLM and BRD. The bard having had a buff to be a bit better dps is not going to make smth like e4s massively easy? Besides with more people getting better gear and with more on the horizon ALL content will get easier to clear. That's just what happens. People losing their minds over the thought of not nerfing a class they've taken a dislike to. The only time it's gonna make a clear noticeably easier if its a full current non meta class dps group, and it SHOULD because it is broken for it to be a huge struggle with some classes vs others. And if power creep becomes a big issue that devs care for they can increase bosses hp ever so slightly so its still about the same clear time as is now. But I don't think that would be needed at all..

    Except Bard needs a lot more than "a bit" in terms of buffs. In fact, lets see what each job you've listed is pulling at the 95th percentile in Titan.

    Black Mage: 14,561
    Monk: 14,508
    Dragoon: 14,246
    Bard: 13,012

    That is a difference of 1,200-1,500 rDPS. In order to bring Bard up to a comparable level, they'd need somewhere like 900 more flat rDPS. That much of an increase means you will absolute stomp on all the current DPS checks if you're halfway competent. Good groups are already skipping things like Quietus and the last sit of Tumult spam. Hardcore groups are almost skipping Black Smokers. While yes, our ilvl is increasing. Why make Eden's Gate even more trivial when the better solution is nerfing the jobs down to a balanced level?
