Bard DPS on dummy, need inputs

[Astral145]

The intent is, that due to their ability to be an MP and TP battery, their dps will always be lower than just a "pure" dps class like a dragoon. BRD and MCH will always have the lowest dps under the FFXIV structure, due to their raid utilities. If you are satisfied with big numbers, another dps class may suit you more.

Unfortunately I do not like any other class in the game. BLM was awesome in 2.0 but I don't like 3.0 blm. I like range classes simple as that. And that whole mp/tp utility is total bs and just an excuse. Ninja and SMN brings just as much utility as a brd and don't try to run around that. Seriously a dps that can do in battle Raise and sub par healing is support but doesn't receive any penalty for raising while in combat o.O? Its a lazy way to not allow brds to be just as vital in dps as other classes. I'm not asking for melee based damage but I would like to see brds to be on the same level as a smn while not being a mp/tp battery. There is no excuse for brds to be a pathetic dps.
