Only good skill is Chainsaw for Battery generation. Doing fuck all with Flamethrower is a huge oversight. All the changes are just visual upgrades with potencies. It gonna be a boring xpac for MCH.
Machinist needs help.

10-14-2021, 07:43 AMJirahI was shocked to learn WF, and Heat blast to remain the same. Not to mention Flamethrower still doesn’t generate heat so it’s still a Alien in the aoe kit. And of course Autocross still doesn’t recharge ricochet so it’s demoted to a generic ogcd alongside Round. Out of all of the small qol suggestions I’m surprised the devs didn’t do anything to any of themQuote:

Tbf, I've seen someone say somewhere they expected hypercharge to get a finisher, as it seemed like a trend this expac, and I surprised myself getting excited by just having a "different button" to press as my last hypercharge skill. You know you've low expectation when it happens.

Heat management will shift a bit but the combo are apparently going up from 15s to 30s, so you won't have to worry about chaining Drill, AA and HC.
Buzzsaw is extremely disappointing.
I think for WF and Heatblast they answered to an interview saying "We don't have enough feedback".Quote:

I don't want to raid as MCH this expac, thanks for GNB/SDG. -
10-15-2021, 10:02 AMJirah“We don’t have enough feedback” is incredibly valid as you’ll be hard pressed to find any critiques on MCH besides “make us OP”Quote:

Never colored MCH as flawless but the devs think so due to this lack of voice -

Not a fan of the lowered potency to accommodate Chainsaw.

What I find hilarious is the lowered potency on Flamethrower from 100 to 80. Like why.
The only good things you get is Reassemble x2, Increased heat on Shotgun and Chainsaw.
Not very exciting. -

There's a thread with a lot of good information about ping issues gathered in the General Discussion. Would be great to have some more accounts and feedback about the issues so SE can finally take them seriously.
Please help gain visibility about the issues: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...tions-normally

People stop looking at potencies, or just look at the others. it was said that they lowered potencies of every jobs to accomodate the new math. so all jobs got 20% lower potencies (dancer got like 33% less on technical for example, 20% less on midare etc).
And I remember you telling him about the latency issues for year Lynn, in a lot of your posts it was something said -
10-15-2021, 08:30 PMJirahAgreed potency is irrelevant for us rn only the kit. Which even after 6.0 it should solely be relevant if it’s incredibly underpowered or broken.Quote:
