Serious Concern, Need Help; MCH not welcome to Alexander

Fixing machinist and bard are going to take time, both to identify where the problem truly lies and to come up with a solution that balances the classes without overpowering them. Not to mention, actually implementing the changes takes a while as well. Expecting SE to just have a solution ready within two weeks is pretty shortsighted

the problem with mch, lies with main combo having 50% chance to proc, but in reality you fail to proc 5-10 times in a row, very often. succeeding 5-10 times in a row, is unheard of.
so they should make the proc chance 90%, then in reality it will be closer to 50%. or they should decrease cooldown of ammo...OR JUST FIX THE % - even at 90% chance, you still fail to gather/craft stuff, 5 times in a row, occasionally.
with mch it takes to much effort, for to little result - it's basically like how DRG was before buff; good burst damage, then it just plummet.

This!

Its more realistic to assume that both classes wont be fixed untill 3.1/3.2. I think(not sure) warrior took 6 months to be fixed and summoner did not get any love untill this expansion. So my advice is to bench the Machinist and play another class untill they get fixed. They might be fixed this month or after 6 months, best to move on for now.
