Because we need another bard broken QQ thread :P

In expert roulette yesterday bard did 960~ and blm 1.100~ dps in the last boss. And blm ofc get foe for some extra dps. Not really sure is bards really that horrible what ppl say. Imagine what that bard would do with dragoon.

Hard to say due to how the numbers are being calculated at the moment (Limit Breaks being counted into individual DPS (will completely ruin the numbers due to the large inflation by itself), DoT calculations are incorrect), but again medium skilled bards/machinists are probably all on the lowest end of dps there is. A job with a priority system as easy as bards shouldn't be that hard to pull off decent numbers, full time WM should give near the same output as ever other DPS, it currently surely doesn't look that way.

This is ignoring the fact that they have a job (not sure about Machinist so I wont include) that from 1-51 is a mobile DPS w/support abilities, to a non-mobile DPS but mobile if you can't be immobile job at 52. Its implementation is clunky and unintuitive, you don't teach someone how to do something for 52 levels, then fundamentally change the core gameplay withing the last 8, and at this point you barely get rewarded for doing so.

Just @ this part: LB doesn't parse as individual dps, it counts as its own thing. DoT simulation isn't perfect but over time they're pretty accurate.

As of last night, it was. It was a bug that any LB done would add to the person who cast it's DPS. Also the reason DoT simulation is messed up is because the new calculations for SS/SS and how they effect DoT's have not had their forumla figured out yet.
