Dev, please confirm MCH buffs before Alexander release?

my god are the machinists really that bad? My buddy just got his to 50 last night and his DPS is amazing. His rotation is fast fluid and does a ton of damage. Coupled with the Astrologian with the spear and arrow card draws the classes speed is immensely faster than any other class so far. You have to know the rotation inside and out. This is a class you can't halfass at all as there is no slacking once the rotation starts. You need to be on top of your game. As for the cool downs yeah I can agree, but as for saying their DPS is complete garbage where they won't be in raids, you are sorely mistaken OP.

As for this post:

Well I finally managed to get through Bismarck EX (and I did just fine on DPS), but I get to Ravana only to find so called 'practice' groups pulling this:



This is the new normal and why if MCH is going to get adjustments, it needs them fast.

The unmarked DPS, for reference, is another DRG.


Here's another one not much long after, to show this isn't a fluke. I think I'm just going to catalog instances of this happening within this thread from now on, because it's pretty conclusive proof there is a devleoping wariness in the community about MCH:

I have to disagee with it. So groups on the PF didn't add the machinist to the roles. When I used to farm Levi EX, it was 1 pld, 1 sch, 1 bard, and 5 blms. I never changed it because I found a system that worked that was far more efficient with Foe Requiem and 5 BLM's blasting the hell out of everything than worrying about a monk or dragoon wasting time running from spume to spume losing dps, or a summoner who didn't know how to use his class properly. Not to mention Manawall and manaward to lessen damage so we could run 1 tank 1 healer. People find a party compilation that works for them and stick with it.
