Machinist needs serious attention

[PlumpyMcduff]

I was more meaning depending on the situation, like if a mob is about to die then switching to the next mob...

Aah... the discrepancy/issue here is you're talking trash mobs while we're talking bosses/lengthy-encounters.

Of course, if you're not going beyond the opener much at all, will you run into this problem.

Her method is not unlike mine/ours in a lot of ways, if you prolong it past 1 minute... you will run into the 1-1-1-1-1-1... just like everybody else.

Well to be fair a lot of people here are referring to tests done with training dummies, which have no mechanics. Now I didn't take my machinist into dungeons yet, but spent a lot of time with my bard in group content. While I didn't feal like a dirty cheater with my damage, the fact that I can fight the boss from a safe distance and even attack while dodging if necessary can make a lot of difference sometimes. When I fought Odin in Urth's fount with my main (ninja) I was forced to spend almost all my time running around and dodging. I was forced to rely on dots for damage. That's not much. I'm pretty sure that Machinists are better choices than melee or caster in certain fights.
