So the highest damage output is between these two from my estimates, but I feel like bard has a much higher dps assuming equal gearing. How is this fair considering the bard can move around and attack with little to no "cast times" for his/her bard moves. The black mage sits in 1 spot and has long cast times (even with thundercloud/firestarter procs, it does not make up for lost time), and has significantly less dps than the bard?

How is this balanced?
