Best DPS class in the game?

[Woodberry]

Come now, don't contribute to the mass confusion. BRD never was top DPS, not even close lol. The reason so many people thought so (and some apparently continue to think so) is because it is incredibly easy to play compared to the rest, and puts on almost comparable DPS as well. The risk/reward balance is off, and thus it will get adjusted.

That isn't exactly correct either. There is no less risk as bard than the other two ranged dps nor is it really easier to play.
