Bard is already damn weak, no need for nerfs.

About Bard's DPS:
I think, considering BRD's utility, mobility, and ranged attributes, they should be the lowest DPS of the DPS classes - which they are, the closer to iLVL90 you get. However, I don't see a reason to nerf it in the slightest in iLVL90 gear. If anything, SE should nerf their early end-game superiority, which is when they are truly dominant. See, I personally used to think Bard was OP, too good, amazing, why am I not rerolling, etc, and so did my FC and friends in general, but that was in AF gear, with Ifrit Bow/Garuda Bow. I learned my lesson though as we all geared, and it beaome apparent that their DPS scales way worse than the other DPS classes - now, none of my FC mates or friends cry OP about their damage or mobility, as it's just not that special anymore.
About Bard's utility:
This is where Bards are wanted in virtually every party, 4 man or 8 man. Whether it's giving Foe's to the casters' DPS, Mage's Ballad to keep the raid full of mana and allow strategies previously unusable, TP song to the melee in a long fight, whatever, their support is very, very strong. While I don't think SE should nerf songs' effects, I do think the MP cost should be higher, or make the songs more limited in use.
Every song that's not mana song takes loads of mana. Songs need no nerf except preventing stacking BRDs for infinite mage ballad+requiem/paeon.About Bard's utility:

DPS indeed scales HORRIBLY, which ends up balancing us out. Makes me more concerned for iLvl100 if we only get another 1 weapon damage on the upgrade.
Doing Twintania runs whit my FC. BRD is gimped compared to the other DPS.
Yeah, BRD is way more balanced in coil IMO. But while we're not top DPS in coil, I don't much mind a slight dps nerf if they still feel it's necessary. Until they give us Red Mage, we'll always have a raid spot.
this vid. awsome roflmaowhile we are at it Nerf TP regan for u DRG's and don't let blood for blood be transferable and do more dmg to us.
I also find it kinda amusing that a black mage is calling something OP but ok. >_>
Added to the fact that the OP just said Bards need to be nerf yet wants us melee dps to have a 30% is a joke in itself.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6kDHdzNXaI)
