Ok, no doubt the guy that was talking about rangers outdamaging bards was on crack, but what is the bard song Sarym's that you claim nukes for 224 every 3 seconds? seen one song it had a 3 sec cast time and 224 nuke with a 300 recast time, u bragging about that?
The level 61 bard song Saryrn's Scream of Pain is the DD he's talking about. Without any modifications, it does 63 damage every three seconds for me at L62. Not great. But when you add an epic, Voice of the Serpent, and Amplification (or use the Puretone discipline plus Amplification for limited bursts if you don't have VotS or epic), the damage does indeed shoot up over 200, with no recast delay, so it can be sung roughly every three seconds.
