Bards need a buff

If you're going to count Foe damage toward BRD, you have to subtract out Disembowel damage and give it back to DRG. Otherwise you're just being inconsistent. Pretty sure that takes us back below 450, no?

Depends, if everyone is BiS and wouuld play perfectly we would still be over 450. A BRD is able to reach more than 400 if he doesn't need to sing paeon even without a DRG (assuming BiS gear ofc). Also assuming that you can use all your mp on Foes and don't need to sing anything else, the Boost for a BLM should be somewhere around 50-60 (you should theoretically be able to sing 3-4 times, 2 times voiced) maybe even a bit. Obviously you can also min-max this by trying to pair your voice with Buffs of the BLM etc.
