I'm sure the OP isn't demanding to do top DPS. I main bard, and I don't expect to do top DPS. Not even close to top DPS. The DPS gap between equally gear / skill bard and every other job is very very wide. It was already wide enough with IL 115 weapons. They nerfed the 135 bard weapons even more? Why? The gap was already there and it's already worse.

If you play marauder, i'm sure you've been grouped in 4 man dungeons with 2 bards as the DPS. You get that "Damnit! Bards!" feeling because they are weaker and stuff takes longer to kill.

I que for dungeons with a knight for tome farming and feel like throwing the controller when I get paired with 2 bards.
