OK so I have been trying a few different classes and right now it looks like my new main is MCH and even though it is a lot more work, for some reason it looks like I am better at it than a Bard.

My MCH is currently at avg item lev of 187 and despite the fact that my Bard is at avg item lev 198 my MCH is out DPSing the Bard by 100 to 150 dps in Neverreap and The Fractal Continuum.

(I leveled a Dragoon and Ninja before the MCH and right now I am doing a Monk).
