Stop complaining and learn to play

[Snugglebutt]

If the OP is going take the stance that all of us bards complaining not just on these forums but the Japanese forums too are wrong then he better back up his post with evidence, parser proof and rotations given else he can go troll somewhere else.

Both bards and especially machinists need improving and fixing. In comparison to most other DPS classes and even tank and healers of equal gear ilevel are way out DPSing too often these classes, to such an extent bards and machinists are quite often excluded and kicked from groups just because of their class so there is a serious problem.

Many threads went into a lot of details about the problems, SE needs to look at those and keep reading them, taking on board what is being said and fix them. It's easy to say you grouped with an ilvl 170-180 bard while you are say ilvl 120-140 and see they might do more then you but in like for like ilvl against other classes, both bard and machinist DPS due to bad skill design and WD is a serious problem.
