Machinist melding.

Anyone got a guide on the best way to meld materia for a machinist? (Stat wise) I've never had to really worry about this before until this patch.

CRIT is Machinist's go-to stat. Accessories have the option for VIT as well if your group calls for it. CRIT+DET melds are the way to go on MCH.

As a MCH I haven't heard of a Skill Speed number to hit. If anyone knows one that's a top end MCH, correct me.

Pretty much just meld vit on accs if doing progression content, otherwise hit crit caps

Ooh, that's not a bad idea! Would help a bit what with our greatest defensive buff ever and no self heals :P

I haven't taken the time to check yet, but if left side pieces all have 2 slots each, then Crit/Det with a VIT secondary might be nice. Using a slot for DEX wouldn't hurt, but also doesn't capitalize on opportunities.

Crit / Det, in that order. Doing less dps and trying to stay alive in mechanics that are generally designed to one shot you isn't helpful. Better to help push DPS then to try and stay alive to 99999 hits or things that will chunk you anyway, regardless of HP.
