I'm not sure how to follow this. When Bards provided MP/TP regen it was a hit on their DPS.
When MCH provide MP/TP regen not only is it a hit on their DPS but they lose a major DPS cooldown.
And what you're saying is that they should do low DPS because they're lolmobile and even LOWER DPS when providing MP/TP?

Sorry, but when MCH and BRD are doing 800+ without providing MP/TP and EVERYONE else is doing 1000+ there is a problem.

I'm not including the factor that BRD and MCH lose their damage by activating their support abilities.

I'm using the factor that both BRD and MCH have the lowest damage of the game even with their TP and MP off.

There low DPS is mostly from how BRD and MCH obtain the lowest Damage from their weapons.

BRD/MCH only gets 65 damage at ilvl 190 weapons

All other Jobs obtains 72 damage from ilvl 190 weapons

However, this is the price Bards pay for being the mobile DPS since it prevents Bard from outshine the other DPS by perform equal or more DPS than the other DPS without the risk the other DPS must face.

After all bards only risk is their low DPS beyond that the Bard is almost the Ideal DPS Job being fully mobile and can attack from close to long range without any risks to their HP.

Something that always bothered me. True that we have an advantage in mobility, but that advantage is purely in context that other jobs have combos and flanking maneuvers that they must do in order to optimize their output. Bards don't even have anything of the sort because, obviously, that'd be unbalanced.

That said up until now Bards have not seen a weaponskill even surpass 150 potency within their kit except Misery's End, which only comes at the final stretch. So seeing as we don't see near as potent WS as other jobs nor any abilities that lower defense types such as in DRGs kit we'd never match them in terms of dmg anyway, so why do we have to suffer lower DMG on our weapons?
