And this is true story. FC mate did a pug for T10.

BAD Bard (115 Shiva bow, Ironworks Chest, Ironworks Legs - yes seriously.) - 260 DPS
Normal Monk - 450 DPS

What on earth are you trying to say here? I seen monks go below 300. Our static pugged a nin dps that did below 300 even in t11. What does this prove? Or what place could this possibly have in any discussion involving balance?

Good dps>bad dps. Kupo?

Wow, I've never seen a melee go below 380 in FCoB so that's news to me. I was just tying to show how low the "Floor" for a Bard would be as opposed to other classes "Floor". I was thinking the "Floor" would around 360 for melee.

Plus it was an indirect shot at how the echo attack buff in SCoB is bad for the game as a whole since it has unleashed a hoard to FCoB that only beat T9 because of the attack buff from Echo and still don't know how to play their class.

So you're citing a single parse of a BRD who doesn't know how to play their role properly while mentioning their hardly desirable gearset. Good to know.

A BRD with that gear can easily push around 420-440 DPS, or maybe around 380-400 depending on time spent singing Ballad/Paeon along with a possible KO. While the Diamond Bow, and Ironworks pants and body have atrocious secondary stats for BRD, any BRD worth their salt can easily do +140 DPS of the BRD your FC mate parsed. BRD DPS is never that bad unless the player is really bad. Please don't weaken your argument by blatantly grasping for straws.
