My thoughts on machinist (Up to level 42)

[LittleArrow]

I completely agree that this class needs serious attention. There are so many issues atm that are holding this job back that I feel were put in place when this job was tested with a machine playing it in a vacuum with optimal testing capabilities (like attacking a dummy).

The job feels very unfinished and in serious need of editing. There are way too many useless skills that's convoluting this class. SE, please look at MCH before Alexander and give it a buff so we can raid with this job until you get more of a chance to fix it properly.

I agree fully, I am glad Alex is release later because at present Machinist will NEVER be taken to it in any organized group play.

In terms of useless skills? Man oh man we have a lot, and they take up premium skill slots that other classes get godlike skills in.
Eg: That 25% "damage accumulated timebomb" does nothing. And it wastes a skill AND A TRAIT.

Eg: Mindbreak/Dismantle
Eg: Hotshot with 5%... 5%... is a joke.

And a few others come to mind but these are the paramount glaring examples

This! I was telling a FC member that this job has a lot of potential but right now it feels like they just idk rushed it through the door and omg the amount of useless abilities. I mean they're useful for soloing things and questing but a lot of our *utility* yeah most bosses are immune. I just feel like every other job can do what we can do but much better than we can. Like tbh the only reason I see anyone choosing to take a MCH to any type of progression is if they absolutely can't find someone else to fill it.

Don't get me wrong I love playing the job but it definitely needs to be revisited and tweaked.
