gauss barrel

[EdwinLi]

Gauss Barrell or:

Electromagnetic speed modifier for a bullet. Aside the point that putting a magnetic enhancer in front of a gun when the bullet is shot initially by a gunpowder blast does not make sense at all (since a gauss barrell is usually a type of gun for itself) it may look strange but if it was put directly on the gun the whole barrel would get magnetized :x

I never thought of the gap as too bad and the enhancing system actually looks cool, but then the gun model i use only has 1/3 of the gap your gun has so it might've never struck me as "too far from the barrel" x.x

But then theres the problem with the dual barrel weapons too - the single barrel of the Gauss enhancer does not line up with them because its made for single barrel guns, which would practically mean you destroy it with the first shot you take

but meh, Games with Magic and Logic xD

Machinist is basically pushing on the Magic Technology theme they wanted. The main source of Machinist's combat ability comes form their Magitek Pack, we see the Job carry around, which manipulates Aether to generate their Unlimted Ammo, Unlimted Supply of Turrets, and serve as a portable power source for their Turrets.

Everytime a new Turret or Gun part is introduced the Magitek Pack has to be recalibrated to include the new Codes for the Pack to read and manifest the part or Turret.

Not really enough for me to even contemplate playing a class that seems to actively go out of it's way to disappoint, poor animation quality (especially when compared to every other job) is just the icing on the cake tbh.

Does wildfire even have an animation? I've tried and tried to find it but come up with nothing, I would've thought a 90 sec CD ability would have some kind of flair to it.

Screw the complaints about DMG etc, the visual aspect of MCH is totally broken.... Again it is a shame because I was really looking forward to it :'(

Wildfire is a small time bomb so the explosion isn't meant to be big. I can still see the bomb explode but it is small.

Also, the Job story did explain that MCH isn't the fanciest of the Jobs in Eorzea nor the physically trained out of all the Jobs. MCH is basically the universal Job of Eorzea where anyone poor or rich can become. It even shows in some part of the Job storyline when a former goon for hire who was almost skin and bones due to being poor became a exceptional MCH after joining the Guild despite lacking any physical talents nor strength.

Archer class obtains more physcial training than a Machinist due to it being required to have a certain level of strength to control and shoot their arrows from a Bow.

What makes a Machinist strong is their ability to modify their Guns and Turrets to be strong compared to a Warrior and Paladin that improves their body to endure pain, Dragoon and Monk improve their strength to hit harder with their weapons, and Bards and Ninjas that improve their felxability to perform their fancy looking skills.

Yes Machinist give up the ability to make themselves look cool and agile with a Gun but their talents is with Technology rather than physical talents.
