On a serious note. Bards are a support group and they deal respectable damage. You haven't even capped yet so you have NO idea what awaits you on the other side of 50. I have the artemis bow zenith with a couple i100 pcs and I dps around 320-330. While no spike damage like DRG or constant 400+ dps like mnk, BRD's crits are pretty good when you have eagle eye and internal release in the rotation. I've crit for 480-520 on the regular once all my buffs are up. Also, ppl forgot but BRD was NERFED horribly about 7-8 mos ago.
Right, the post has been addressed already.
