Machinist superior then bards?

[Ephier]

Machinist does have several advantages

Disagree.

More procs and all their procs are instant cast

agreed

Gauss Round is instant cast when Empyreal Arrow isn't.

Gauss round has a higher cool down which does not scale with skill speed. Empyreal arrow cooldown goes down the more SS you have.

Rapid Fire makes their 3 next shots instant cast.

You have barrage and the ability to que it up with a 220 potency skill.

Don't have to reposition yourself to help recover MP or TP

Song vs Promote advantages are meh, we have instant stationary TP/MP regen, while you have mobile TP/MP regen and foes on demand.

More Crowd Control. Heavy, knock back, stun.

Agreed.

Its odd how you disagree that MCH has several advantages, then agree to several advantages.

Not like having heavy/bind means jack shit since most dungeon/raid mobs are immune to CC. Sure MCH has more utility, but it doesn't mean they're necessarily useful.

Doesn't really matter to my pointing out the oddness of Ephier's statement. One cannot disagee on a point, then agree to it in the same post XD
