Guns are a rarity in Japan so I'd assume no. :b

I still play Machinist but yeah...I've known of all of these issues for a bit, it's rather sad.

Machinist, sadly, is a borderline dead job at this point. The overhaul it received going into Stormblood was an essential gut job-- further hindered by the 4.05 update making it brain dead easy. It's hard to say what it is anymore.

It's a shame how many jobs they broke with this expansion... Although MCH probably got the worst of it.

I actually still find MCH pretty fun. The heat reduction was unnecessary but it didn't ruin the class for me...though Cooldown did get a lot less fun. I am just really upset that it's basically as dead as it was in 3.0. Its weak numbers are even more noticeable in savage content. BRD not only has muuuuch higher personal deeps but Foe's has a 3% buff on essentially the same CD, as it takes roughly 2:30 for full MP, and that's neglecting refresh, which lets it be used much faster, at only a 150 potency loss on BRD. On top of the direct hit and critical buffs, it makes up a lot more than the 2% difference between Foe and HC.

Bruh didnt you already post this in reddit?

Its a shame they didn't stick to the original idea of many types of add ons other than gauss barrel. They all could have changed the play style and worked like BRDs songs but in a way that wouldn't make it a clone. I don't get why they feel the need to keep saying having more options will make it overwhelming. Im so sick of there excuses for making the jobs interesting!

We are not support.
We are not even good DPS.

We are just a buncha loud, awesome looking, mobile fireworks displays! Come on, MCH fashion is hype and you know it! But no seriously, right now, if you look at our kit and not the role actions, it seems the SE wants us to be mostly DPS now, not support. Without an official statement however it is still speculation.

Except they do even that objectively worse than every other class dedicated to killing people... including bards

MCH are the ultimate fashionistas, extremely classy and beautiful, but without any actual substance to fill the void. About the only reason to play a MCH is to stun people with your beauty in Rhalgr's Reach and Kugone.
