Bard "buff"

[Jukebox12]

"Little" things like dropping your DoTs three times and not optimizing your song cycle at all, forfeiting an entire Raging and Barrage for no reason? Because that's what happened, and they cleared with a dps death anyway. 99% chance the ranged player would have played Dancer way better than they played Bard on that particular pull. It's just that the payoff for doing so wouldn't have been there.

TpS is well known for being not-great at damage optimization, and it's actually silly to take what WF racers say about job balance seriously. It just doesn't matter enough for them to get punished for being wrong. Which is a good thing.

Sylink brought Bard because they unironically thought fflogs was bugged, on the basis of their healers dealing more damage with a Bard in their party, based on a sample size of three pulls each. Where the healers pressed more damage GCDs on the pulls where they dealt more damage.

not what I meant by little things. by little things by not having nature minnue and again it's easier to maximize your songs and your DoTs compare to maximizing Dancer. also brd has higher damage

Well, yes, because maximizing Dancer is a group effort to make the most of its 2 minute burst. It's not because handling Dancer's procs is hard. Handling Dancer's procs is trivial.
