Bard's DPS in endgame.

[Jim_Berry]

Yoshi-P did say that Bard's DPS is lower to provide mobility. Actually that's not true but it sounds better than what really happened, there was a massive community outcry because Bard could top the DPS charts since they technically have no down time, they can attack and move on dodge heavy fights despite their toolkit being only fairly limited for a DPS, so all weapons in the Bard's armory had their innate damage lowered so they can never really top the DPS charts unless they are constantly spamming abilities and everyone else is busy running around.

We have a sad community, in which we (BRD) makes some people lol at us for not putting out huge numbers. I was told I sucked on Ifrit Ex at 184 dps (whatever that mean). Mind you, I was last alive with 4HP remaining. The last tick of my Venomous Bite killed Ifrit, yet they said he'd BEEN dead if my dps was higher.

There was an argument about the programs used. One guy said his numbers reset each phase while another guy say his only track the initial hit of a DoT attack.

Things like this kills morale!
