Bard - they broke my job

[Snowaeth]

I'm leveling and learning a MCH for that reason. The thing is the level 51-60 part of BRD are awkwardly slapped onto the job, while MCH are being designed ground up. That difference alone would make MCH in a better position than BRD.

Doesn't hurt much learning since they both shares the same gear less the weapon. Depending on each turn basis at least I have another option.

Yep, that's my take on MCH as well.
I do hear they have a pretty bad time 50-60 too and their 30-40 isn't great without their turrets either.
But for us with an already lvled 60 it shouldn't be hard to just fate grind or dungeon with the armory bonus active.
