/DNC really offers nothing to BRD. Regardless of how small your MP pool might be as /WHM, you're going to give a lot more to the party by using that. /WHM will give you access to status cures early while /DNC won't give you any status cures until 70. Simply put, melee oriented classes make far better use of DNC than casting-intensive jobs like RDM or BRD do. |
I'd consider /SCH to be viable at level 20+, as well, due to the presence of Addendum: White.
Otherwise, though, yeah. /WHM or /SCH until 74, unless you're reaaaaaally good at pulling and want to pull as BRD/NIN.

Prelude is useless to a RNG, they have three Accuracy Bonus Traits by 50 and four at 70. If they want prelude, then somethings's wrong with them. Give them minuets. Its all they'll want or ever need. STR Etudes are nice, but really, just play minuets. I don't care if the other melees cry about it, until BRD gets it single target ability, BRDs should think about what benefits the WHOLE of the melees and not just a couple members of it.
BRDs really need to stop playing the Request Line DJ and study what other jobs need and consider the whole of the group when they buff. If you give a RNG haste, gee thanks, you've helped my Utsusemi recast and that's it, provided I'm even subbing /NIN at all. Haste buffs do not affect Ranged attacks.
BRDs who Prelude or March RNGs make RNGs ditch /NIN and go /WAR + meat.
Think out of the box a bit, check out what benefits other jobs, just as an example, you'll learn that MND affects MNK's Chi Blast (along with attack) and RNG's Holy Bolt damage. So if you have a MNK pumping Chis a lot, might be good to consider MND Etudes, and RNGs may welcome it in places like Limbus.

Prelude is pretty pointless for RNG these days, I agree. Corsairs can still use the boost though, as can SAM/RNGs, depending on what you're fighting.
If I accidentally (or intentionally) hit a RNG with March, I'll usually do something like March > Minuet > STR+ etude for the RNG, since that seems to add the most damage per shot aside from Minuet III, which isn't always an option.
