Rapid Fire not working with Gauss Barrel.

I'm happy that many of you will be quitting the job due to it being too hard to play the job properly. Get over it to be honest. It was an obvious bug and it was only a matter of time until it was fixed. It's not the end of the job but if it's too hard for you to move and do dps then by all means, be bad at some other job.

Haha!

I like how much you're willfully ignoring reality and creating your own version of it. I wonder how that's going to work out for you over the long haul.

SE will most likely provide buffs in an upcoming balance patch (possibly with the inclusion of Alexander or the next patch) as Yoshi-P and Co. have been pretty good about balancing on the whole. The new classes just seem a little undertuned in some areas is all. I doubt the sky is falling quite as hard as people believe.

How do I do signatures? Because this is going in my signature.

At the upper-right corner of the forum webpage, left side of the "Log Out" button, you'll find the "Welcome" message. Under it there is a link to your account's settings.

In that page you'll find a small frame called "My Settings" at the left side with the "Edit Signature" option.
Enjoy.

I have no issue with the difficulty of Mch. The barrel toggle was Ideal for dps and wouldn't you agree it was more difficult than simply rocking 100% up time on it? I think applying the barrel mid fight @ phase changes is still going to be ideal but it didnt feel like a bug to me especially after they patched Lb before before gauss barrel.

I've been using full time GB in instances and having better success with it. The only time I took GB down was during balls in Ravana. The fact of the matter is MCH isn't supposed to be doing as much DPS as Front Line DPS or casters for that matter. MCH and BRD are support roles that also do DPS. I'm sorry that the reality that some of you paint for yourselves isn't what you want it to be but get over it. MCH is literally the most mobile job in the game while keeping DPS up. Whether it be via procs or taking down GB if you have to our using the one second interval you have, there's plenty of mobility. Learn fights and get good.

That was a well know bug. It's a shame that a bug was the only thing that made gauss barrel not useless and instead of fix the problem they fixed something that made the problem smaller

ya that is roughly the right amount of dps for non gb and that is usually the cast with Fights since their is not much dps lost when movement comes into play.

also that perfect latency

Hey Zayl, feel your pain, especially for those that like the macro swapping from FF XI. The problem is that Gauss barrel...and wanderer;s minuet for matter, just aren't abilities that fit well with their kits. I am not opposed to the idea of a rapid casting physical caster....but that idea needs to be baked into the class from level 1 and not slapped over the top in heavensward. That being said, even small tweeks can bring about big changes. I wouldn't remove RNG from MCH, but make it more reliable. your combo starter should have a 75 - 80% chance to proc, and as you go further in the combo the chance can go down. Also, I think that abilities that dont have an ammunition effect to them shouldn't consume ammunition. They just announced that BRD changes will be happening centering out WM, so its hard to imagine that MCH wont also get a look
