Machinist and bard are totally different minus basic utility.. Machinist is a proc/cooldown oriented job over the more dot heavy mechanics of the bard. You have to play the machinist 2-3 times better just to get the dps of the bard basically. It is over complicated for having weaker dps then the other top tier dps.
