Melee DPS Group - Bard vs. No Bard

[zanderklocke]

Obviously, five rogues will do more damage than four rogues. The four rogues will have higher DPS per rogue, but they're not going to overcome an entire additional rogue. EverQuest is pretty much a numbers game.

The question is how valuable you value the decreased downtime due to hp and mana regen, damage shields, and ability to pull and crowd control more easily.
