Yet another machinist inconvenience.

[SovereignAegis]

I just tested my autoturrets on dummies and gauss barrel's supposed 20% damage increase did not affect them at all.

Despite the turrets claiming to deal 80 (or 60) potency of our damage.


I swear I want to play this job so bad but there are so many ridiculous minor things like this that hold it back.

These things DO matter and they do count, there are so many that it has added up.

that potency is not based on "your" potency, the only thing that will effect it's damage is your base DEX. After that nothing, Gausse Barrel is an upgrade to you and you alone, not your Turrets.

They should explicitly state that then, the turret is not treated the same as a pet- or shouldn't be as no summon has specifications on potency. The turret is stated to have a potency based off of our abilities/stats as is any other ability that we can directly use. Eos/Selene for instance don't say that they heal with a potency of 60 or 50. In fact with them I feel like ilevel impacts them moreso than mind stat.

What you're doing at present is justifying the current subpar state of the class and an oversight in development.

The turret is presented more similar to a DoT, which all DoT (???? Vast majority/all I've come across) abilities scale off of buffs. 20% makes an impact on the potency of abilities, as all abilities used like splitshot are based upon potency. 150 potency for splitshot when I buff myself with gauss barrel has it's damage raised by 20%

No buff on a smn/sch boost it's pets, only buffs on the pet do. GB works the same way

Summoner pets are not specified to have a specific potency, the autoturrets are specifically stated to have 80 and 60 potency as is any other machinist ability such as splitshot at 150 potency.

Oh for the love of god... You people are literally trying to find stuff to complain about now.

Because MCH is being out damaged by healers and tanks? nah nothing to complain about.

Nahh this is more legit than the Dragoon thread complaining that the lvl 58 skill doesn't "feel" like it is reward enough for them -_-

I can see how turrets work the same as SNM pets though as MCH has hypercharge to boost their damage, much like Spur... But again it is much less effective, has double the cooldown and can't be stacked with something like Rouse to make it a 80% damage increase for them...

There is every reason to complain about things like this, especially since it is something a lot of people were looking forward too...

Feeling letdown doesn't do it justice imo.

Except he's complaining about a skill isn't doing what he wants it to, when it makes 0 mention that it would do that in the first place. Someone already said it a few posts up, not a single buff you cast on YOURSELF ever has effected a summoner's pet besides something you specifically cast on it (rouse/spur compared to hypercharge as stated)

Like I get it, MCH needs some love, but that's just silly to complain about.

Self buffs have never had any effect on pets. The only thing that turrets get is buff from food. This is nothing new, nor should they add it to it either.
