Machinist needs serious attention

Gauss Barrel needs a buff too....at least it needs to increase the proc chance to 60-65% since cast time+50% proc chance=COOLDOWN FASTER AMMO!

My overall dps hasn't fallen behind in comparison to other classes (except for melees, but that's relatively low comparison than falling behind).

Machinist does requires a better situational-awareness when it comes to cooldowns and ammo management to force procs. My only gripe is that...gauss is detrimental to your dps unless its for an opening burst (in which you'd disable after using gauss round and ricochet) or AoE.

Gauss barrel being a DPS loss if attached permanently is I believe one of the few things that was thought through with the job, DPS increase if attached when your cooldowns align for some burst or for AoEing, DPS loss if you just chuck it on and leave it on.
