I actually have a 60 MCH but I am leveling my Bard because it honestly just offers more. Higher damage (yes really) that is not based upon RNG, more steady utility, etc.

You say Bard has it bad but it doesn't. Take a Bard into A2S and a team of BLM and SMN and mow down things with AOE then tell me that Bard is bad. It is amazing.
