In term of usefulness universally, Bard. The only thing that sets them apart is the songs they bring: Mage's Ballad for healer MP, Foe Requiem to boost magic DPS's damage and Army's Paeon to recover TP. I don't really care which dps I got since I play tank/dps but healers would love a bard just in case I guess for their songs and LB3 if healers go down.

Most likely cause DRG boost BRD damage with Disembowel.
