Does this not sound better than making an arguably unbalanced class even more unbalanced?

What would be the reason to bring melee if BRD had a DPS limit break and could do everything melee can do and not have to worry about most boss mechanics?
I can agree that the DF system should not stack the same DPS in a 4 man run at least. It wouldn't be hard to find another type of DPS. Although it seems everyone wants to play BRD.

How many of a Bard's casts are interrupted by dodging purple lanes? How many of a Bard's positional requirements are impossible to execute because the boss has no rear? How much does a Bard's DPS drop when they are knocked to the back of the room?
Do you imagine that fight is easy with two entry-level Dragoons? Two Summoners?
I do think the DF needs to pay more attention to the jobs of the players it parties together. I do not think Bard needs more DPS.

To be blunt if your dps can't do wall they are just bad. I lvl white gear to convert in my ak runs and down the wall 1 repel after bees. That said I do think bards lb is silly and should be changed. Bards more than any class though need some change in way of a nerf as they currently stand dominant at the top of most wanted end game dps.

With 2 bards the wall should be almost dead when the 2 bees pop so you shouldn't even have to kill them lol. Find you a new brd friend.
If bard is supposed to be a support class shouldn't they have a completely separate limit? Maybe buffs to mp, tp regen, and skill and spell speed or something.

I really don't get what's the issue here, especially for AK. I've done multiple runs with 2 bards even in full AF and we were killing the demon wall even faster than with a DPS limit... have you ever considered that maybe your bards are just really bad?
Having the healing LB on Bard is actually very useful when you want to use it for raids. Often you need your healer healing just a short time after the LB. The stupidly long time sitting in one place the LB forces on you isn't exactly devastating when a DPS is doing it.
Not sure if this'll help much or not but if you're in this situation again a semi geared tank can hold both bees to one side while the DD (BRDs in your case) focus down the wall, it's the only way I have ever done this fight and I play a MNK ^^;
