I agree, but it's not like we can magically make casters appear. No BLM or SMN in your group, none of that matters. It's out of our control.

I think the fact that they gave bards that ability is what makes their DPS lower. It's SE's way of encouraging there to be a caster in each group. There's a really small chance a group is going to bring a Bard and then three physical DPS. And even in that case the utility of bringing Paeon to the table at the very least makes it so your melee don't run dry which would be a bigger DPS loss than the amount it lowers the Bard.
