My thoughts on machinist (Up to level 42)

The Low Potency is because you have a Turret, 30% Potency to self and turret in your traits, Gauss adds an extra 20% Potency, I've been having fun fully buffing up with B4B,Raging Strike,Gauss,Hawk Eye and doing burst when Wildfire is active. 80% total damage from traits + Buffs, +15% dex, and Wildfire will do 25% of the damage at the end.

I don't quite like the RNG factor of the 1-2-3 combo when ammunition is down but so far that's my only problem with the class

Does Gauss Barrel make the job any better? I stopped at 50 as I found spamming 1 until getting procs or ammo is up kinda meh. I know the combo wont change but does it make getting the procs more "fun"? since it makes then instant etc.

It feels weird because any non instant attacks are now channeling. You do more damage and I use it in dungeons or with a tank chocobo, when i'm by myself soloing I prefer it off for the mobility. Your 1-2-3 combo with gauss is fine because they get the extra benefit from gauss to instant fire well besides the 1.

My oddness with it would be same as bards new song just turning everything into a channel. I'll get used to it eventually
