This is a little off topic, but after reading some comments it came to mind and I don't really think it's worth making a new thread for: why do bard's songs affect its DPS output? (Or Phys. ranged DPS in general have so low DPS?) For bards, their songs don't affect them either in party or solo. To me (who knows nothing of stats, mind you), it seems a little weird that they would "punish" bard's DPS for having songs that only affects others by giving them lower DPS. Intuitively, shouldn't they have the same DPS rate as any other class seeing as their songs don't enhance their own DPS output? (Sorry if this is a "dumb" question)
