Top DPS in you t5 clearing groups?

[Sleigh]

Bards are severely under represented on this thread. Seems like almost everyone thinks bards are pretty much the bottom of the barrel in DPS potential.
I'll attempt to remedy that with my records now that 2.1 is over. There was no cheesing or deliberate attempt on the raids part to pad my numbers, etc.
I do not have an allagan bow, so bards are capable of doing at least 15 dps higher than my records.

T1: 336, taken on 3-10

T4: 336, taken on 3-25

T5: 297, taken on 3-25 (this was a 7 man carry run with 1 tank, +10 dps over my prior record with a standard comp - I theorize the record was broken by so much due to added time on debuffed asclepius, it was one pull but my combat time out wasn't set right, thus 'All' is selected, no splicing. Duration on mine is longer than others so maybe the parse should be higher than it is?).

Are you suggesting those numbers are particularly high? Sorry to say, but all those numbers get trounced by MNK/SMN/DRG T1-5, and BLM trounces that T4 and T5. I've personally scored 320 as BLM in T5 and there's always room for improvement.

BRD is not a bad DPS by any means. However, in tank and spank fights like BC, where training dummy DPS gets to come out, or multi-DoTs, or AoE, they're not going to win in any turn. It's in content like dungeons and primals, with lots of dodging and phase changes/resets, where BRD can nigh top the charts with 280+ without DRG, while everyone else gets hurt ranging from a little to very much so.
