Bard - they broke my job

[jmdude]

I understand that much, I still feel Bard is scaling the same way as it did in 2.0 though - Songs are becoming less useful, we're still dealing 200~ish less than other jobs, even moreso in Turns like 2 (SMNs and BLMs destroy us). The Weapon Damage is still a problem imo.

Sounds like the design SE wants. AFAIK the idea is you get 200 less dps for your "support songs" you're not supposed to do as much as other dps that have full kits for doing damage, even with 200 less dps bards can still do impressively high damage. My friend has a static where they cleared A3S with bard, mch, drg, and mch.
