Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

It is always good to have an emergency button.

Not sure why you would want to say "naw, I'm fine with having fewer options".

Even if I believe that you never needed something to save your life (ps: I don't believe you) it can help lessen damage taken during big damage and thus lessen your healer's strain.

Think about it this way, even if all damage is completely predictable, wouldn't you rather your healers have to heal 7 people rather than 8? Or, in a more single target case, what if you need to soak some big mechanic? Why not just take no damage from it, a la BLM. Would you rather have that option?

This isn't about "git gud" or the ability to get something done or not, this is about options.

And while I think MCH doesn't need one, I certainly won't complain if they get one.

I just rather not have the devs think that this is a priority or necessity and instead give us something more interesting to our role; such as another support ability that isn't being a mana/tp battery.

Also, if your healer needs to heal 7 people, they're going to use an aoe heal that's going to hit you anyway...so that point's a bit moot =/

PS: Any time I've died to a mechanic it's because either I was standing in the wrong spot or someone else was standing in the wrong spot (e.g. double doodaw damage or me being the only person to help soak laughing rose).
