Why play Machinist over Bard?

[Zophar]

More damage? No. Look and compare the numbers and the ease of getting them for Bard, the Bard STOMPS on MCH in damage.

Just gonna point out, taking a job that has been around for almost 2 years, of which, all the ins and outs have been discovered, that people have had ample time to polish up an ideal dps rotation for, and comparing it's dps to a job that has been in the game for less than 24 hours, and that only a small hand full of people, even have at or beyond 50, is just irresponsible.

No one has even had a chance to take MCH into a raid and all of their first impressions are off of the first 10-15 levels of the job itself. Once people have time to actually put it in Coil or Alex we will know if its actually gimped. The people crying about it being useless are the ones who only wish to pad their DPS numbers and are typically found standing still focusing directly on their action bars and nothing else (The bad players).
