Question, why does Bard and Machinist share the same core mechanic?

[Jamillion]

Its pretty much like if they'd given warriors sword oath at 52 instead of their own unique stance. The classes would play different but its still bullshit laziness.

Hey everyone else gets their own stance but not bards and mechs, you guys gotta share.

I just pictured using sword oath on my warrior and fighting with an axe in my hands and a sword in my teeth. Thank you for that
