Machinist needs serious attention

[LittleArrow]

According to the ACT website, they recently fixed the parser to properly reflect Machinist damage which is putting them on par with Bards. This job has a high skill cap which maybe leading to the plague of low damaging Machinists.

I found a reddit post that was made 9hrs ago. The damage is on par with BRD, but they're both parsing below tanks atm from what people are recording. Very well, the skill cap could be holding players back on both jobs. I still think both MCHs and BRDs need some sort of buff. We'll see how this progresses within the coming weeks.

Thanks for the responses on MCH and BRDs in parties. I'd love to hear more feedback from players who play with MCHs and BRDs in expansion. If you've played with one, positive or negative, please post on your experience. MCHs and BRDs can post for days, but inevitably it's the 3 or 7 other people playing with you that's going to decide if they want you in the party or not.

What about you, would you invite MCH or BRD? If so, why? If not, why not? What have you experienced from these jobs that make you feel that way?

Also, posters have been commenting, "I've wanted to level this class but now I don't b/c..." I've mostly seen that the class is boring or not viable for endgame for reasons to not play. If your'e interested in MCH why do you want to level MCH? Why don't you?
