My thoughts on machinist (Up to level 42)

It's noticeably better after 54 when you get Gauss Round. 200 Potency (300 Potency due to traits + Gauss Barrel) per 20 sec off gcd it feels much smoother now

I do not disagree, however look at what Bard gets:

1: Empyreal Arrow:15s cooldown, 240 potency. No shared cooldown.

2: Iron Jaws: 2.5s cooldown, 240 potency. Does not share recast timer with any other actions. Also resets DoT timers.

3: SideWinder does 350 potency damage on a 60s cooldown

All 3 of these are similar to our gauss barrel mode.


We cannot compete with that. We just can't. They have more selection, higher base damages and lower cooldowns. We are literally second class citizens in comparison.

and yet 2 of the 3 are (almost) useless for bards as well.
