I think Alc's contention is that tamer damage, not bard damage, is underpowered.
I disagree with his premise and changing the system to increase barding or taming damage, however. Tamers (and to a lesser degree bards) already take the lion's share of the platinum in these things. Even in his example above, Reaper, Nightwind and Cobb still didn't make as much platinum as Alc did.
Increasing taming damage would thus not only still give tamers most of the platinum, it would put dexers, tanks, and even bards at a disadvantage to even having a chance to get a rare.
Finally, if there's any class that's the MOST safe from being attacked by other players, it's a tamer leading 10+ wyrms on "all guard." Increasing taming damage would thus give the most invulnerable players the most plat and the best chance at a rare, shutting everyone else out. I would suggest at least taking a poll of the broader player base before changing this.
