MCH, still as bad?

They're both functionally the same, but BRD has river of blood which resets their oGCD cooldowns. MCH is also more reliant on procs which give them instant casts on specific weaponskills, so they're roughly closer to 2.0 BRD's gameplay. BRD has a proc as well that gives them instant cast, but it's not as prominent. To me, it's more on "GB messes up less things on MCH than it does on BRD"

I'd say BRD's AoE is infinitely better due to multi-dotting for multiple RoDs. Bishop is nice and all, but it's only 60 potency that's unaffected by gauss barrel.

Is bishop the best AoE mch has? What about spread shot and grenade shot? Or are they just rubbish compared to bard?

Not that it's a big deal, mostly single target damage is the way to go, I was just curious. Trying to learn things ^^

They're not mutally exclusive. You have spread shot and grenado, but that mirrors what bard has (quick notch and wide volley) down to the potency, so I'm mostly referencing what's exclusive to the respective jobs. (bishop turret vs rain of death potential)

Also ricochet I guess for MCH, but thats only once a minute so probably doesn't help a big deal except with an opening burst

Ricochet is a flat 300 potency no matter how many targets you hit. You're not gonna do more damage using it for AoE compared to using it for a single target.

. You'll also find players who think that if they don't hear the pew pew of spread shot then you're not aoeing.

Grenado is technically more damage per GCD than spreadshot, but it eats up so much TP. If you can kill the pack before you run out of TP (usually paired with cooldowns, or low hp packs), grenado is the better choice.
