Bards do bring more support and utility compared to machinist. However, unless 4.05 really rectified a lot of MCH's Stormblood redesign, they are still not dealing as much damage as an equally-skilled Bard. Again, that's if 4.05 didn't fix the glaring issues with the job. I don't mess around with MCH that much because it was never really my cup of tea; I'm just basing this off of things I have heard.
