Zeke – Your math is severely flawed and you listed the Druid’s damage incorrectly. To keep things simple I’ll use the numbers from the link I mentioned earlier to show that the Druid does both more damage and more healing than the Bard. Lets use a 4 round example where the Bard heals once and attacks 3 times while the Druid attacks twice and heals twice.
Bard attack = 160 dam
Bard healing = 3 * (10 + 5 + 5 + 5) = 75
After 4 rounds the Bard does 480 damage and 75 in healing
Druid attack = 35 + 3 * 100 = 335
Druid healing = 20 + 10 + 10 = 40
After 4 rounds the Druid has done 670 damage and 80 healing
Both numbers are higher than the Bard’s numbers. One major difference is that when you need healing you don’t want to heal tiny amounts because your characters will die. Also the Bard’s healing is also far less effective since you can’t concentrate a heavier dose of healing on the character that needs it.
The Bard has the advantage of being able to stun, but a Samurai with the Grand Slam set is far superior than a Bard with the Nightmare set since the Samurai will stun for 2 rounds instead of 1 and his chance to stun is almost the same. Many of Bomb’s and Blues’ classes can do more damage than the Bard. That is why I don’t rate the Bard very highly because there are so many better characters to use.
Like I’ve been saying before the Nightmare nerf the Bard was a decent character to use, but after the nerf there is little reason to use her and the math backs me up on that statement. The nerf to the Nightmare set reduced the stun damage from over 800 (880 for a level 33 mastery level 5 with level 33 set) to only 200 which is more than a 75% reduction. Even if you factor the additional 200 damage the Bard still does less damage than the Druid.
