Machinist Appreciation Thread

Figured there's enough threads about how we ranged physical DPS (MCH and BRD) aren't so hot right now, so why not the opposite? Who here LIKES the new job/role and what it entails? Sound off, Underpowered Rangers! :D

I personally enjoy the challenges that came with learning MCH, including the now-better sense of cooldown and pet management that came from learning this job. That's the same thing that left me gun-shy about S H/SMN til now (no pun intended >_<).

Gauss Barrel is still a hit or miss with me (ok, that was intended, sorry), butI have yet to really suffer for using/not using it.

I love playing machinist. +_+ Ran Brayfloy today and got two comms while running it. Didn't even think I was that good tbh. lol I can't wait to get all the why to lvl 60.

I love the class but god dam is the dps the worst I ever felt

I love the job and will continue to play mch, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of my friends 6k empyrean arrow or 3k sidewinders. Even the resident war sees better number. But hey I've got robots and a gun :3

Well, if it makes you feel any better :) BRD are currently neck and neck in DPS with well played MCH...so those big fancy numbers you see are mostly for show!

On topic...I just enjoy going Boom! Bang! Badadadadadadadadada......

I love the theme, the style and the animations.

What I don't love is insanely intensitve mechanics that still have me doing less damage than literally any other DPS class. Or Warriors. Or White Mages...

Love the class and style of the animations. Love the challenge and the feel of the gameplay.

I don't, however, love the current single target dps and the awkward periods of time without a combo proc.

I love the class but the combo proc mechanic is clunky and need some tweaks

I like my gun. A lot.

I just wish the job we were excited about, looked forward to, actually held up when it comes to DPS checks in raid bosses... /sigh.
