Which is less than desirable and far from guaranteed. Then, the debuff requires for the DPS RP to be on the frontlines and to equip a special tactic.

Outside of meme premade setups, it's not going to happen.

Then there's BW's build itself. Going primary elemental means staying in place alot and being less than 80ft away, which is rarely possible in the face of destro melee blobs.

dps RP/hybrid RP with the ele debuff tactic will be played in org wbs in support/utility groups for the purpose of buffing BW for sure. melee bomber BW and ST BW are still super strong despite this small change to their career resource. same for melee bomber sorc and ST sorc. it amounts to roughly 5% overall damage nerf (which in warband BW's case is supplemented easily by RP debuff) and the classes are still performing super high with this change and are S tier for all forms of pvp content. to say your class is butchered is absolute meme ngl

It's a huge nerf. Equivalent to 15 renown points. Though, of course, the remaining damage is still more than enough to kill a weak player such as you.
