I haven't heard of anyone turning down BLMs.
That's good to hear

I didn't know if Bard was on the top regarding dps, but I hear a lot of people saying that at least....

I do hope it's not always going to be needed to have at least one BRD and SMN though, or at least have other dungeons that require classes like BLM and the others that isn't needed.
