Bard Nerfs Offically Confirmed

[Woodberry]

I run 5 min parses and haven't had an issue with TP unless I'm on debuff duty. I use invigorate when I am 450ish down.

Gear scaling is a large issue. It is one of the ways SE is controlling bard dps. For instance our relic weapons cap at 41 damage compared to the 46 damage of the other classes.

Yea I am aware of that, iirc all bard weapons should be 10% lower than same ilvl melee weapons.

Afaik though the offstats should be identical, as well as the damage formulas.

It certainly is a hit to damage, but it is not a 10% hit certainly, as other factors (most notably DET) are independent of weapon damage and should be roughly equivalent across classes.

If someone can give me a stat listing of all the DoW classes in DL gear (lets use that as base, then go into AF2/allagan BiS gear), I could start working on proper dps as opposed to potency checks.
