Quoting so OP can read it twice.
Also My MNK with ilv80 relic & DL does more dps than your DRG.
So Player issue, written all over the thread.

Can Vouch for Ayase... dude puts up better numbers than most DRG in server.. he's asian so yea...
let me know if u see another drg put up 290 in titan and 275+ inTurn 4
dex attribute does not contribute to accuracy, it only contribute to your attack power for range classes (in this case BRD). Accuracy is an entirely independent attribute which is shared by both melee and casters. you need about 470 accuracy for turn 4 to achieve 100% hit rate.
side note: Dex also contribute to block rate

Accuracy on my BRD is 469. Accuracy on my Dragoon is 478. Why don't you ask the other people in my group how well my BRD in shit gears did. Setsune Mystbane, Locke Cole, Ecthorn Bale, Morbos Calendari, Ayucia Draeien, Melena Cait.
Like I said. I love my DRG, but it's obvious that BRD does much more DPS.
I got in a discussion with my FC about this and they are pretty far in coil telling me the EXACT same thing lol. They swore that shit gear bard was doing more or equal damage than his main DRG, on excalibur sever no less :p I don't know if I believe it but if it is true that kind of sucks. Accuracy is not an issue with Bard until you have most i90 myth gear.
It's also obvious that you suck on your dragoon if a bard with gimp gear is blowing away your decently geared dragoon. It's clear as day you're trying to make this out to be a post bashing bards and making up numbers trying to make a gimp bard out to be better than a geared anything. Equal skill and gear puts bard clear behind all 4 other dmg classes for single target and yet you come in here shouting that your crappy gear on your bard is able to outperform your gear on your dragoon(which it can't with your stats in tox gear and a dragoon wrist that is providing zero benefit for you other than secondary stats).
I'm the DRG and I'm the BRD. I am comparing my own damage. I went into T4 as both DRG and BRD and we did damage parses and that's what came up. I'm also either Top or 2nd best on the parser in every attempt. Only time I didn't get Top parse was when our BLM got lucky crits that put his numbers way up there.
