Bard in the party... thoughts?

[ashwich]

Relative to what MCH? The one in your party (not the case going by your example) or word-of-mouth/fflogs? If it's the latter, then you still need to consider that numbers are not 100% reflective of a job's normal potential, esp when you're looking at clear times that differ by more than a minute) or padding.

pug mch who came into our sephirot sometime ago. at this point I was still in 205 bow, he's on sephirot weapon and penta melded and pulled something like 1550. it was a much bigger difference, my 200 difference came from after i got my 220 bow, from a different lockout. The majority of the group comp is the same, sub mch for uh.... nin? granted I lost a bit of dps on ballad towards end of add phase and range LB stormcloud, boss and all the adds.
