This. While most of the classes are somewhat competent in the aoe dmg department, BLM just totally outclasses everything other jobs can throw out. While I get that people need to run dungeons on all classes, I never understood why people specifically recruited bards for speed runs. There's just no competition against BLM+BLM setup.

BF speedrun as a bard :
-Speed song.
-We are almost at the point of the first pull, Requiem.
-Use all your CD's, go full AOE's.
-Speed song.
-Get the key.
-Open the door while the BLM sleeps the mobs.
-Attack the boss, I don't need to stop, the tank will use a taunt.
-Kill the boss.
-Repeat.
