In ShB, DNC wasn’t more potent than BRD in terms of personal damage or rDPS. A lot of BRD mains ditched the job after the ShB changes because they preferred SB BRD or they disliked how ShB had no support to it in favor of making DNC the “support king”; while others flocked to DNC in a combination of “shiny new toy” and a lot of healer mains actually swapped to DNC because they were tired of the healers getting the shaft.
That's some interesting... "revision" of history, shall we call it?

Bard was just flat out worse in ShB. Plenty of people liked BRD but felt forced off it.

And this sort of leapfrogging is going to continue because when SE introduced DNC, they didn't give DNC its own niche. So BRD will either be a worse DNC, or DNC will be a worse BRD.
