Bard - they broke my job

[StrejdaTom]

I just cleared A1s Last night as Bard and of course I am the lowest dps. It was in a semi pug but everyone is nice about Bard being the lowest but I am wondering how am I stacking up to other Bard. On oppressor my dps is around 788 while the rest of the dps are around 900 ish. The pt told me that their normal bard who they clear A1s with is around 800 dps. Is it normal for bard to be 100 less than your other dps?

871 here (no DRG in PT), iLvl 190. 100 DPS difference is completely fine in my opinion.
And yeah, if you compare the best players from the spredsheet there is difference of about 100 - 150 DPS, except the SMN, who is doing much better for now (I hope they aren't going to nerf them).

The best BRDs are doing much more than us though, so there is always space for improvement.

Yup. A1 pug I joined tonight and I had 1160 when we wiped to enrage, not even skipping the last jump which most groups do now with gears.
1200 is attainable as BRD in there.

With or without Disembowl? I'm very lucky to get 1.1k, and that's if I'm prioritizing IJ when adds come out and I don't have to move too much.

On another note, I've been testing out multiple openers, trying to find if one averages out better than the others. Currently I'm averaging between 1,050-1,100 without Disembowl, 1,150-1,200 with (weird too... I thought it'd be a higher increase). I'll post my results later, along with my gear choice, but can you guys compile as many openers you know of? I'm going to at least average each opener with 20 results.

I don't know many openers, but if you look up Krietor's "600 skillspeed opener" I parse 1300 using that opener with disembowel. With my own opener I get much much less.
