Machinist needs serious attention

You don't keep GB on full time. From recorded numbers on Reddit, you lose damage with it on. GB / WM was supposed to drastically increase our damage to put us on par with blackmages from what I was told a dev said. However, 20% is insanely low in terms of damage. Auto attacks have been recorded to do more than 20%. The other problem is the cast times are too long. You could put out far more damage without it than with it. That's why you should keep it off unless you have rapid fire.

In other words, don't use GB unless you have rapid fire for burst, then take it off as soon as possible to prevent DPS loss.

If it is a bug, then much less reason to use it.

hopefully not

edit: just read the description again, rapid fire suppose to reduce cast time by 1.5, so even with rapid fire buff enable, all the skill with GB on should not be instant cast, they still have 1 sec cast time and GB equip should be 1,5 sec cast time and not instant

Most likely a bug though... instant cast with rapid fire is only supposed to happen when GB is on. When you cast rapid fire then gaus barrel, it casts it instant, rather than reducing its cast time as it should be doing.

So yeah, in next patch, expected a NERF. /joy

(going back to level another dps... just in case)

First change to MCN: nerf...

If this happens, I don't know if I should be curled in the fetal position weeping in the corner or laughing hysterically.
