Bard - they broke my job

I am just going to leave this right here. WM, in the end will probably be our best option for end game content.

But... 830 at i179 compared to most other DPS classes that does well over 1200... is just sad. Keep in mind this is a dummy parse without movement and mechanics involved. I can see us doing 700-ish with that in mind with the current gear sets while we run the current dungeons.

If a tank class in DPS stances can do well over 900, what justifies it that we can only pull this? Because we can play songs? The damage discrepancy is way too high.

Bye bard, hello black mage for me.

Songs already nerf our DPS output by using them, we shouldn't be punished for simply having the songs even if they're not in use.

Exactly, can you imagine how horrible our numbers will be when people start asking for songs in a raid. With all the movements involved in these new fights, with all our oGCD coming up and with having to play songs here and there, I would be surprise if we break 700 in the end of a fight... All things considered, playing at your best your numbers will still be significantly lower than others no matter what happens in a fight, if there's movement or no movement.

Until they address this issue or increase damage on WM, I am not going back to this class as much as I love it.
