And certainly not in the same group as a DPS who's doing 1200. So, yes, I assumed hyperbole.
    the hell, i was just talking expert trash aoe pulls, (I SAID AOE???) why does everyone assume people are talking about salvage?
    I seen good brd range 4-6k on the same pull this other brd did 1200 on.. volly spam ftw???
    This is your post:

    Hyperbole aside... By fault of the system, no. By fault of the player (the shit Bard), yes.

    But the only remedy for that is training, and not ceding to the lowest denominator.

    Admittedly, there are concerns that contribute to "skill" gap that have nothing to do with thought, nuance, decisiveness, calculation, etc., but rather just being better able to hit the keys one wants to hit better than the next guy, where the gap could be reduced by simply reducing the amount of false option keys. But the rest? Is there really an issue with a someone who actually understands the priority system of his skills, CD sync, and his possible interactions with the given fight doing better than someone who can't be bothered to think about it or practice his job? Everything that isn't part of "just hitting buttons more accurately" is part of that.
    How in the hell do you say I never said AoE?

    It may close the gap a little if it makes the gameplay mistakes less punishing (looking at you blm) and raise the bottom level higher. But the players that want to push themselves to the limit will always do better than the ones that aren't as good.
