I felt the same way. It's 4v4. My turn is to make it 4v3 as quick as possible because even one hit on anyone other than karlach or a tank character will take me 1/2 hp. And God forbid they take 2 hits, then they're out of the battle. My main is a bard (I'm still in the first map dealing with the goblin camp) and I'm using karlach as my tank, but if my bard isn't doing a damage attack on an enemy I feel I'm worse off. I know I'm doing something wrong because this isn't the way support moves are balanced to be.

Use your Bard's abilities to buff your allies to give them advantage, or to break your enemies to give them disadvantage. Bards can also put enemies to sleep, make them fall prone with laughter, and sling horrible insults like "you have a visage well suited for scroll-writing." This will make your allies less likely to take damage, and more likely to deal more damage themselves. A bard can also heal, so at least in the early game you can run 3 dedicated DPS and a bard and have no issues in most situations.
