How are Bards in the DPS department?

I thought Monks got triple attack at 60, also their attacks used the same damage table as a 60 warrior at 55, then a better damage table of their own at 60.

Monks were given triple attack somewhere around 06/2001, after Velious.

Okay, so to some up, Bard DPS isn't terrible, but not great either?

It's terrible.

No, I'm making an alt.

Bard dps is above shaman dps and below everyone else. Assuming the shaman isn't a barb with a spiritualist hammer (total guess but I'd put bet on the shammy).

The only time it's even close to other melees is if they have crappy weapons, crappy haste, and no spell buffs (like haste). This isn't really a comparison though.

Warriors are not equal to monks again unless your comparing extremes.

I hate saying this but if your thinking about melee dps as a bard post teens you prob missed the whole point of the class. Similar to bow dps with a ranger...it's a dot at best. Not useless, but nothing to write home about when your AoE and charm kiting.

I wasn't aware that Bards actually had any form of damage with their music, only utility.

Most people here have no idea what they're talking about.

Feel free to send a tell to Franswa in game for accurate bard information.

With harsh language.
