Are 7.2 aoe changes some kind of joke?

I was also annoyed to see any nerf for Machinist, but it seems the damage has been shifted from Scattergun to Chainsaw, Excavator, Full Metal, Double Check and Checkmate.

THERE IS EVEN LESS REASONS TO HAVE AUTO CROSSBOW ON HOTBAR WITH THESE CHANGES


Oh 2013 account, probably whitewashing square enix worker.

I think SE misunderstood us.

That nerf on the MCH is clearly uncalled for. Nerfing shotgun for 20% of power to gain a little more Splash damage with the rest of the kit ? I don't think that was what MCH were complaining about ?

MCH weren't all that great at AoE to begin with. MCH is actually the worst class in term of DPS overall, uterlly destroyed by the BRD (With a whooping 3k rDPS on boss ! that is 1.8M of damage over 10 minute. And that can be a game changer especially in the early prog). MCH deserve to perform a little better, otherwise PF will start to boycott MCH because of the poor performance the classe is giving.

Also, the BLM getting somewhat reworked with the timer gone feels like Kaiten removal. I understand the reasons behind that, but the timing seems odd to me. Reworking a whole class mid-extension seems to become a habit for them. I wouldn't have said anything about it if that was done on an the beginning of an expansion.

What? Take your misguided negativity somewhere else. I'm also not satisfied with the state of Machinist. I was just explaining that the OP seemed to have misinterpreted the wording on the AoE damage.

I don't know what the hell this means but completely unnecessary to the conversation.

I don't know what kind of kool-aid you've been drinking, I'm simply asking that you refrain from personal attacks and keep your discussion on topic. I don't need to know someone to simply be courteous. If we are to ask for changes regarding something, it is best to do so constructively. Spamming and resorting to personal attacks is just petty.

AST Oracle has falloff and the other healers' DoTs got buffed. Those are surely connected..........somehow
