Bards need a buff

[Akesis]

Bards who know their class through and through can compete properly against other classes. If you simply feel underpowered, I suggest you to experiment with your buffing rotation, order and priority. Practice dummy fights like T8 is a horrible example to compare. look at Titan EX, Garuda EX, T6, T9 or any other fight where you are forced to move or may waste enough time to lose your buffs (monks). In practice, bards are nowhere near bottom of the dps ladder or even far behind any other class when done properly.

Sorry, but I just lol'd this. You must not have other players in your raid who know how to play their jobs. fyi: I am a single BRD in my raid. I sing, I kite, I do everything that needs to be done. I'm not a turret... I can pull 415 on T8 and fall at the bottom of the list. I can pull 398 on T9 and yet I am the bottom of the list. My rotation is near flawless and I have spent countless hours out on a dummy. When you compare high end players with other high end players, Bards are the lowest parsing DD class and need a buff.
