High damage in general.

They don't rely on procs or positionals.

So I think a bit of MP Conservation in long fights is more than reasonable. As others have said it's simply remedied by small spurts of Ballad anyway.

i.e. T10 after adds die and you have to attack TooGud. Bard can apply dots/flaming arrow etc and then Ballad for a few seconds for such a minimal dps loss, since dots are still doing full damage.
When MP conservation is causing their overall DPS to be lower than the other DPS classes I have to disagree.
