I doubt BRD can hit top DPS when Limit break is involved. Since almost all classes (except PLD) get gimped on their rotation to charge that bar, and until we see higher content, OmniSlash >all

Bard also dies darn fast, where a blm can heal pretty darn strongly even if he can no longer use those nice conj spells.

Giving all these expected run around boss content we are expected to have, MNK/DRG will probably be top DPS, since they can still keep up some decent DPS while charging that LB-bar.

MNK seems to be the more versatile class with both defense offensive and support stuff (they're too versatile in some ways) while DRG seems to be best if they can stick to a boss like glue, giving how high their damage can get once the rotation gets going.

Assuming mnks can get their mojo going with all those speed enhancements they may even top out faster by charging that LB as fast as possible.

But range is going to have its problems especially with the dreaded aoe lag.
