    MCH, Gauss Barrel, oGDS, and Sound Effects

    Is anyone else really bothered by the combination of Gauss Barrel and oGCD abilities causes so many of our shots to go silent? One of the biggest draws of MCH for me over BRD is that it has much more visceral sound effects. Because of the short window for oGCD usage when Gauss Barrel is up, though, the sound effects are often clipped, which doesn't typically happen without it. I assume BRD has a similar problem with Wanderer's Minuet but I haven't taken it past 50 yet.

    Ricochet has the most satisfying sound effect period. Gauss round is meh though.

    Gauss Round is underwhelming, yes, I hate when it over-rides the Split/Hot/Lead Shot sounds.

    Gauss Round really needs to have some kind of cool sound effect like Ricochet does. While we're at it, I'd love to see a visual effect of Wildfire going off. And give Dismantle a more audible metal clunk. . . We're throwing a wrench at something, for crying out loud! I want to hear the satisfaction in doing so!

    MCH abilities in general are, with Richochet being the exception, pretty lame. It is almost like they tried their best to make sure it wasn't too flashy because then too many would play it. I agree with OP as well, it is annoying... it is bad enough even when the sound is there, sucks more this way.

    I suppose MCH should lack flashy cool looking moves if you think about it, it's story is how it's the commoners class and how anyone could do it with little training. Having said that, I wouldn't mind Split and Slug shot having a cooler animation like Clean Shot and perhaps Gauss Barrel having a cooler animation or spell effect. Head Graze though, looks so good.

    Ricochet and Head Graze have awesome sounds. Head Graze gives the feeling of impact when you fire it. You'd think Gauss Round would have more punch because a gauss round would break the sound barrier.

    Not to mention Gauss Round looks super boring. Wildfire visual change when it goes off would be so nice.
    Ricochet is <3
