Bard is probably the highest damage right now. Seems like they are making them focus more on DPS then support judging by the changes in P4. I kinda wish they had made Bard focus more on support and had another ranged job branch out of archer that was more DPS focused (ranger or corsair, literally anything). To me it just makes sense that be bard is a support job, since that's what they did in FFXI. I guess this is a totally different game though so i can't expect it to perform the same way it did in another game.
