Best DPS class in the game?

I'm just saying that it's moot to think of DPS as a binary issue. It's more of a philosophical question.

You can say - Bard does the most DPS. But it has no meaning. It's like saying the sky is blue (is it really?).

Under what what conditions? At what dungeon? With what party makeup? At what time during the fight? Over what period of time? AOE or single target? Do I have to move or can I stay in one place? What buffs do I have to work with? What gear do I have? What defenses does the enemy have?

Are you serious right now? The question is ALWAYS under optimal conditions, such as Patchwerk or a Target Dummy. I didn't think this was that hard to understand, considering it has been said MULTIPLE TIMES.

What you fail to understand is that Bard do not care about condition to top DPS. No matter the encounter, bard can always DPS since every action are instant and ranged.
