If you think 14 dps off shaman epic is “good dps” I’m not sure how to explain it any better.

In that regard, bards are the best dps class because they can swarm 25npcs at once without a tick of mana. That’s like 1500dmg every 6 seconds. Maybe bards and shamans should duo.

Yes, bards do really good DPS when swarming. You have the right idea now. That is why they power level people. I don't know how much damage per tick a bard can do when swarming. Looking at their spells, one of their PBAoE spells does 30 damage per tick. That means if they only use 1 PBAoE spell, they are doing 30 x 25 = 750 per tick, or 125 DPS. If you are inferring the 1500 damage comes from using 2x PBAoE spells, that means the bard is doing 250 DPS while swarming. Hasted Rogues that are backstabbing are doing 120ish DPS to normal mobs if they are using Epic in their main hand.

More simultaneous DoTs = More DPS. Each individual mob in a bard swarm is only taking 5 DPS. But 5 multiplied by 25 is 125.
