How is Bard at max level?

[Nizzi]

SCH and BRD are the two most complicated jobs in the game to correctly play on a base rotation level. BLM is more complicated due to fight knowledge, but if we're just talking you hitting a training dummy for 9 minutes straight, BRD is the hardest.

Scholar? Did you just swing in from Heavensward?

Healing relevant content on SCH is the hardest job in the game. It's not nearly as hard as even the "easy" jobs of previous expansions, but currently SCH is harder than anything else. What else comes close to even comparing? MNK? BRD? Every job is braindead easy now, SCH is just the least. Placing cards on the right DPS not nearly as difficult as being a SCH. Timing Demolishes and not doing two Dragon Kicks is not nearly as difficult as being a SCH. Not overcapping on Bloodletters while maintaining dot uptime and ensuring not clipping on raid buffs is not nearly as difficult as being a SCH. I really don't find anything else that competes with it.

you're kind of contradicting yourself saying bard is complicated then saying it's not

No. I'm saying BRD is the most complicated DPS currently, but that no job is truly complicated since SHB or really even SB. The easiest job of HW was harder to play than the hardest job of EW.
