Bard DPS

[Burritoboy]

Has anyone parsed their Bard yet. I have all darklight plus AF2 Body, myth ring and relic. I haven't DL Parcer but just want tto get and idea of what bards do with similar gear as me

It's kind of dependent on what content you're doing, what parser you use, how much you exaggerate etc.

I'd expect about 270DPS in your gear on a good parse on something like Demon Wall.

can a bard reach 300 dps yet or is that like full coil gear because the relic+1 isn't better than a lot of body AF2 upgrades

As much as I hate to say it, Parsing with the FFXIV parser is so inaccurate it's not even funny, regardless this was the results for our first attempt kill on ADS "http://oi41.tinypic.com/2zptncy.jpg" With that parser we only showed the ADS itself, not including all the mini-bosses, Honestly I myself dont care about damage dealt but would rather Damage Done, also for that kill our BLM destroyed ADS because I Opened with Battle voice + Foes Requiem, then when mine wore out the second Bard Foed, and by the time he ran out of mana I was Full mana again so I Foed, and we just chained. Total Time left was with 4clicks left on the boss before it exploded ( I lost a bit of damage because died in the end for last 2minutes cause Chain lightning ) So you can tell that with 4 clicks left on the boss how much damage we were actually putting out in our Raid Group

Thank you for the info

Must point out I was running the normal Parser everyone seems to be using and BLM pulled 260, Monk pulled 150, The other bard pulled 280 and I pulled 360 dps, because of how DOTS are worked into the parser

What is your gear look like? and did you use flaming arrow during your dance+foe?

On dummies with relic +1 / almost full DL (parsed with FFXIV-app) :
- short burst (20-30 sec ~) : 330+ dps
- 5 minute combat : 235 dps

On ADS (turn 2 boss - Parsed with LogRep) : 180 dps

Also do not forget flaming arrow is not parsed which should increase the dps.

Oh thanks for clarifying, that would make alot of sense lol. Also the numbers for that fight on mine look a bit wonky on damage dealt overall because usually I'm pulling around the same as your parse on the other thread, but I'll just put that down to dying for last 2minutes lol

Foe's Requiem has no effect on BRD damage whatsoever. Windbiter, Venomous Bite, and Flaming Arrow are all unaffected.
