You're kidding right? LMAO. Do you even PLAY a bard??? My bard has pulled an orny, hotm, bracers, arcane shield, and a crapload of "minors" out of Doom since the drop rate has increased, and that's in VERY limited play time. In the heavy spawn areas (think DF's) I provo all his spawn right back on him. Nothing helps my damage more than having 3-5 rotting corpses on him while I drop EV's and flamestrikes on him with a demon slayer spellbook. My bard has died a FRACTION of the times my archer has, staying alive is hardly a problem. FWIW, my Doom template is as follows:
120 Music
120 Provo
120 Peace
120 Magery
120 Eval
120 Med
Suit is 100 LRC, 46 LMC, 11 MR, 2/6 FC/FCR. Please don't tell me a bard is "greatly diminished as a useful character". My guess is you don't play one often in Doom or yours isn't fully developed.
