Why are bards / Mechanists so... Sensitive? <_<

[Sessurea]

Right now, if Savage was out and you had a bard/machinist in your static but couldn't reach the DPS check with them even if they did their rotation good and knew when to give support would you keep them?

except that every single raid encounter in this game is created with bard dps ability in mind. if you're geared enough, and have a brd and 3 other dps and still can't beat a dps check then someone needs to get gud, plain and simple. Running content without a bard would probably reduce melee dps to bard level. As an example, raid enrage timers are generally 10 mins? Nins are out of tp in under 4 mins with invigorate still very much on cd. Now is it really worth bringing another dps who wont offer support and will probably end up doing bard damage due to tp starvation? Sure the nin can goad the tank ( wow ) but he will starve himself.

Don't forget tanks run out of tp fast too ( pld runs out in under 3 mins ) and tanks damage has been buffed to support dps level, so tank tp starvation is an even further value to bard, more so than before.
