Machinist needs serious attention

[Ramath]

So, now that I've had a lot more time to parse with other DPS and also other MCNs, I'm starting to see a rather disturbing issue...

1) I'm sadly behind most every other DPS. Not surprising.
2) I'm very far ahead of every other MCN I've played with. While it helps to soothe the self-esteem issue we MCN's are developing, this still doesn't mean a whole lot. It's like saying I'm the tallest midget!
3) While I'm ahead of other MCN, I'm starting to see that once the fight drags out past 1.5-2 mins, my DPS drops off a cliff, and it slows down to meet the same abysmal DPS of the other MCN.

So, first off, once our initial burst is done, we are extremely pathetic when it comes to contributing to the party's DPS. Second, MCN seems to have very little reward after our initial burst, or really short fights. Apparently, once the window of correctly-applied-opener passes, it doesn't matter how good or how crappy you are. The job simply doesn't reward correct/efficient play.

I'm not 60 yet, but I've been told the same thing. Things die super quickly when I have cooldowns, but in boss fights, I know I'm slowing down the entire fight.
