I personally have no problem with bards dps (or new playstyle, for that matter). We are more than competitive as far as I'm concerned, and if you factor in the dps increase that requiem adds to the raid, we're on par with everyone else.
o.O? what? So drg's crit buff and piercing debuff, nins group wide buffs and slashing debuff, smn's virus, war's slashing debuffs are not as important as brd's requiem? Hate to break it to you but brd's and mch dps is horrible and not even close to being on par with SMN. And yet SMN has virus, in battle raise and sub par healing to help with tight spots and it's just as viable as brds tp/mp songs. I don't know how many times I have seen SMN saving a group from a wipe all bc of in battle raise to a healer, tank or dps.
