I've permanently solved The Wanderer's Minuet problem...

I actually beat other dps frequently without it (based on aggro meter, as I don't use a parser)

This is never an accurate way of showcasing how much DPS you do. As a Bard, you must know that abilities such as Quelling Strikes exist, yes?

I know about Quelling strikes. I never overaggro the tank

I just use the aggro bar as some sort of a reference for how I'm doing since doing damage creates threat/emnity aswell. I've had ppl tell me that the aggro bar is a way to see how ur damage compares to someone else's. Not entirely sure how much of that is true though. But whatever :P

Except they're wrong because other jobs have access to Quelling Strikes as well. DRGs have Elusive Jump and Ninjas can reduce hate on themselves or any party member they choose.
