Keep in mind that Black Mage titan's tend to be padded with Gaol cleaving opportunities. It seems a minor thing, but if Bard is only 200 DPS away from Black Mage on this, that's effectively the bonus they gain from using Foul on Gaol.

I severely doubt Bards have the same opportunity to dump potency into secondary, mandatory targets that don't last the duration of their dots.

than you are severely underestimating the power of bard dots, also apex arrow says hi
