Is bard dps the weakest?

[savant07]

It's based off of my actual damage numbers, so yeah. I'm wearing *slightly* better gear than the SMN you quoted, in that I have 4 darklight pieces, 3 ilvl 55 greens (including weapon), and the rest ilvl 60 greens. But the one extra piece of darklight isn't enough to account for the actual difference in damage.

Hmm I'm guessing this doesn't factor in any of our 5 DPS cooldowns.

Also, how often do you think River of Blood procs and the average Bloodletter cooldown you think it brings it to?

It depends on what buffs you have active when you use the Bites. Using only SS and passive crit chance, I usually have it come up early (sometimes only barely, though). Conversely, SS+Internal Release+Passive has caused every DOT tic to reset the CD before, and I've seen this happen multiple times.

As for the cooldowns, I didn't include any. Partially because the numbers you quoted didn't, and partially because I'm lazy and it was all done while alt-tabbed or waiting on rez sickness in AK. >_>

Hmm, wonder how well we scale with gear in terms of crit chance and resetting blood letters. I wish DoTs ticked per second :P When I play my bard, I feel like the reset isn't proccing enough

Also, if you DoT multiple mobs, does it help increase the procs?
