How can we make Bards and Machinist better?

We. Are. Not. Utility!


... i think ill save this as my sig

Near the whole of your 30~50 Bard abilities would disagree with you rather vehemently. Further, given there's only one other Jobs able to do what Bard does further illustrates it. Yes, Bard and Machinist queue as DDs but that's because the Jobs have to do something when not providing support. And DDing is much better than just twidling your thumbs waiting on someone to request a song.
