One thing I would like to ask, to the people who said they parsed over 550 on bard in t10 is how many songs are u using.
I have reached 525 on t10 with drg but no nin, and an avg of 480 in t11-t12(doing bluefire) and 450 in t13 first kill. My point is now, how many songs are u actually using. Its true I can mantein 600 dps before I start singing in t10 and 550 in the rest till I start singing on doing mechanics like dispelling redfire in t12.
I have no problem in t10 with mana cuz healers do not need it, but tp is a pain in the ass for my party. I do not know if I have a tpaddict melees or what but they are asking for tp even earlier than 60% in t10, at 60% in t10, at 70% in t12 and they need double tp song in the second phase of t13 to be able to not stop hitting. I do not complain about their damages, they are a monk and a dragoon, but holy fuck I am permasinging each turn and still doing a good dps. Moreover apart from t10 healers need mana sometimes.
