I think its time BRD get some loving

What the weapon stats don't show is the advantage being a ranged class offers. It would actually be unfair if the bard weapon gave the same damage as a melee weapon, since a bard can output the damage much more often than any melee.

Can you read well?

I am not demanding the same damage AS melee jobs, i demand the difference between weapons will be the same.

Allagan bow (42) and allagan melee (46) = +4
high allagan bow (49) and high allagan melee(53) = +4
Dreadwyrm bow (54) and dreadwyrm melee (58) = +4

We still have low wd because we can move, do mechanics and dps.

Don't be an ass, all I did was misunderstand your post.

It would actually make more sense if the number difference actually does increase, since the goal would be to make sure that BRDs wd remain a certain % behind the melee wd. Keeping the same static number difference while buffing both sides would decrease the % dps difference as both BRD and melee dps got to higher ilvls.

There is not reason to increase the difference between bards and melee jobs. We have less weapon damage than them.

Btw. I did turn 13 with my alter ninja ilvl 121 (weapon 115), i did 40 more dps than bard and our raid did more global dps.
We skipped more mechanics, goad on our mnk and our dragoon/tanks can support the tp necessary for the raid without lost 20% damage. Manasong is not useful on turn 13 if people plays well.

Adds died more fast, ergo more time to recover resources as tp and mana.
