Gauss Barrel Graphics is Ugly

All machinist gadgets and gizmos are fueled by your own Aether. MAGItek.

I love Magitek but to be fair tapping into your own aether without magical training isn't the way Magitek worked in FFVI and it is also not the way it works in FFXIV.

-This isn't FFVI.

-I don't think it's been established we're using magitek (at least, not the same as the Garleans who have no affinity for aether) as opposed to some other nonsensical name like the aetherconvertor or transmitter, that allows you to use aether for your machinery.

I'm aware it isn't FFVI, but people think of FFVI when they think of Magitek because that is where it was coined. You are correct that we are not using Magitek as defined in FFXIV's terms either. In FFXIV Magitek is similar to FFVI in that it is the taking of an outside source of aether or magic and containing it in a vessel to transmit or use as a power source. In FFXIV the aether source is Ceruleum, which is a substance created by draining aether from the Crystals. The Garlean Empire uses it to power their devices. I would like Machinist to be working through Magitek as well but unfortunately not... YET.

It's horrible and I hate it wish I could turn the gauss barrel effect off. I have the hive weapon and it just floats on the end, getting my eso one soon and thats even shorter so its going to look worse. Its like they didn't even try to make it work.

I thought it would of been a better idea for your side tool to light up, giving your gun more aether energy but in exchange you have to charge it than shoot in the lore.

Hell if I know how aetherite technology works! (I'm a MCH saying this o_o)

I like your idea, Velhart!

Something like this would've worked really well if they made MCH use magnetic/electric charge stacks, sorta like warrior's wrath/abandon. Clean shots in GB with proc would give you a charge, and 1 charge is used for gauss round, more for abilties like ricochet and something else. All of which would cause your lunchbox to sparkle with power or something. At least make it more visually entertaining (considering that's what it does briefly for gauss round anyway)

I glam the Bluesteel for my PvP set (GunBlade Rawr!!!) and I loathe that GB is part of my burst; the GB looks ridiculously suspended in front of it XD

I Love my MCH class but I agree the gause barrel does look weird in alot of spots would have been cool if they had done it another way BUUUUTTTT im also so sad about the move gauss round and Wildfire like they are two really cool abilitys but they have no flash to them like wildfire is this insane gigantic number that flys on your screen with like no visual effect
