Machinist and Bard after 3.2

[Ephier]

Maybe A4S is the encounter that MCH is better than BRD at ilvl210.

No?

the jobs are close enough as-is that you will not notice a difference unless you do very early progression and even then you'll probably have to be gunning for server first/world rank and i'm pretty sure that applies to next to nobody that actively uses this forum and posts here

it's almost like you can just play what you have more fun with and stop caring

I was unaware that a 90 DPS MINIMUM difference in DPS was small. Some people play the class to have fun, and that is fine. But for end game players who actually care about their numbers and small minor things such as proc timings, BRD is just out right better than MCH currently.

Also, you have a few end game players who regularly post on the forums.

You should keep in mind, that not all entries are close to regular gameplay.

Especially the top entries are "made" in optimal party setups with optimal support (buffs, mechanic handling) to push the DPS of that single player.

Last time I looked around, there were 2 videos of A3S 7 man. Both used a MCH in the party and I'm shure, there was a reason for that.

There wasn't, it's mostly because our Machinist was way more comfortable on Machinist than he was on Bard at that time. Bard is better than Machinist at the moment unless you are running a full melee group, there are no arguments here.
