BLM vs Bard

[LeviathanElite]

Yeah, right.

He claims I dont know anything about my class, then proceeds to come up with a "100 titan. bahamut coil test" false citing, and then claims monk does most dps in game.

Where is this data?

Where is yours OP? You started this poor thread based on zero Theory-crafting, zero data and pure assumption and opinion.

[LeviathanElite]

What i love about this game is you are given so many skills and all are useful. All i hear here is the OP crying for new abilities because he assumes Brds do more dps than BLM but has not produced anything to prove it except expecting everyone to take his word for it.
The same OP (Yes you LeviathanElite) who is crying because he/she things BLM have absolutely no way to do dps when on the move.

Its people like you that throw any civil discussion of the topic out of the window.

You have literally said nothing productive

[CursedCoffee]

Yeah, right.

Yes, this is correct. Thank you for agreeing with the above statement.

I do know how to play the class, and its funny that you are the only one saying monk does the most dps when literally everyone else here is saying how terrible they are.

Where did you get these numbers? 100 titan runs? Bahamut coil tests? Where is this data?

I can release data eventually. Right now it's a complete mess. But all the top guilds run monks for a reason. The only reason...the ONLY reason they ever get sat is because half of this game's content really hates melee. But the class has one of the highest dps outputs right now.

You can either follow the actions of world class guilds, or believe the nonsense people cry over their own shortcoming in general discussion. Your call.

I insist, buff melee DPS. And I'm a BLM saying this, so I would have nothing to win out of it. But I've ran countless dungeons with MNK and DRG and I've seen it with my own eyes. I can sit behind critical hitting and proccing Firestarter and Thundercloud all the time while they have to be constantly stopping their DPS to dodge.

That plus positioning (MNK), makes it very unrealistic to say it does more damage than BLM.

I actually know the rotation really well.

Well, actually looking at your rotation, this explains a lot. Look, I noticed we're on the same server. I have some blackmages that can give you some feed back on optimizing your rotation and show you how to start "double dipping buffs."

If you want to take me up on it. I'll be in game about an hour when the servers come back up.

[Serpantina]

Seriously ive met tons of your kind in various mmo's and i seriously fail to understand what drives you people in to askin for nerf nerf nerf and even more nerfs on classes
Learn to ask for class improvements thats more constructive.
Today is Bards you target tommorow its gonna be somethin else and dont even try to convince me eitherwise its how people like you tick.

[TaitoTots]

Bards are making our lives easier by dishing out damage......Lets Nerf them....seriously what's with people hating on a class all the time that in turn helps them....Let's not forget bards don't have a damage lb, people will still needs blm's monks and dragoons so stfu.

[Shadowzanon]

melee does need a buff, their range attacks to continue to dps while on the move is very expensive, while we have firstarter, thundercloud and when those are not up we can scathe till we can stay put again.

[Jibb1985]

I'm perfectly happy with my dps. KTHXBAI.
