Machinist extinction in 4.0?

[Lauren]

Never knew there was so much heat on Machinist. I just got through the 3.0 story with Machinist and by the end of it I felt like I had a fairly solid grasp. Sure there are some aspects of it that I think could be streamlined, but I don't really think it's so bad.

MCH is one of the few classes where not understanding how ammo works means you're really screwing your numbers over. While other classes can get away with players not understanding their optimal rotations, MCH isn't really one of them. It needs understanding.It's actually kind of fun when you understand how ammo and Wildfire works. It's a great class that does really well but doesn't have the finesse in terms of playstyle due to it's "dunk all into wildfire" style. It's a class of high ups and low downs. Bard has more consistant damage but it's a much simplier class to play in comparison? You don't have to time your CDs and oGCDs as hardcore are you would with BRD.

As I side note: this threads is insane. People play what they want to play. Remember when DRG was hardly played in 2.0? When WAR used to be absolutely terrible? When MCH got buffed so hard that BRD was nothing in comparison (when played well)?

Classes get buffs and nerfed all the time. People will still play those classes regardless.

Wait until 4.0

We are all insane in our own way and what is considered sane is just a person's way of telling others what they consider is "Normal" for them.

Appart from being borderline broken MCH is totally fine. I'd say it's one of the more interesting job to play in this game. And you can still play MKN or non-DPS healer if the complexity is too high lul.
