Highest DPS vs most fun

[Craiger]

At high level play, yes. Those are the numbers Bards should be pushing.

I'm no expert on BRD, but I highly doubt that's what's expected from them...

Are you talking about T10 for those numbers? cause I hate when people use T10 for any real valid DPS comparisons... BRD's can get very high DPS in T10.

This is a pretty good spreadsheet of DPS number: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...#gid=722665224

As you can see, the one you posted had higher DPS on T10, but after all, look at Lucrezia getting 700 on BLM in there...

For the other turns I think it's pretty well covered. So the best result for T11 for example, are 532 DPS.

Maybe you'll see some people getting the numbers you say, but saying everyone should get that every run, doesn't sound right.

Those numbers in that spreadsheet are the highest those people have ever got too, which means lots of crits and other lucky things...

EDIT: and on the point of being lucky... That's probably why SMN falls behind when you do spreadsheets like this. SMN start out high, fall down to their usual DPS, then it's all just a sustain of DPS that doesn't vary too much. BRD can get much higher spike runs.
