This is where you are wrong, though. Beyond the 20's that's not what will happen. What will happen with your method is that he'll get to 10-20% hp and the mob will still be at 60% hp and he'll have to mez the mob and regen back up before going back into melee.

Bards are great at a lot of things, but even with bard slow and bard haste, out DPSing mobs with melee is not one of them.

I always thought bards were either tryhards or bads.

How many of you dudes pulse CCC like a pro instead of just letting it autorepeat?

I was always an advocate for Bard melee, ever since seeing a raid-geared Bard guildmate just mow through things like butter back in Velious, and so I recreated that on live for Velious to PoP era to test for myself.

Yes, other melee will do more damage. But as mentioned, you have self-haste plus a slow song. It doesn't quite even out, but it's not as bad as many think.

There's an entire generation of Bards who leveled naked by kiting and have no clue what they're capable of.

Is Bard twisting= Skill rotations in another MMO like Final Fantasy 14's Bard class?

Can only HIT 4 at a time, dots last 3 tics though so with different run speed mobs and/or proper positioning it’s possible to keep 12 dotted
