Machinist is arguably the biggest let down of a class/job ever to me

With the two bosses we have right now. That's not a good idea or possible. Goin hail mary on an overheat to squeeze out a tiny bit more damage before kill is a better idea, but you'd have to unsync your FT for that and/or setup a lineup that will allow you to deal damage at the end of your overheat before the boss dies or suffer a DPS loss.

Works fine for me. Overheat if you have a Barrel Stabilizer that will be available in 20 seconds from the time of overheating.

Susano waits 12 days to make his sword available to hit- it's very possible to overheat before he goes invulnerable and be ready to Stabilizer the sword. Also after Lakshmi uses her ultimate- you're given just enough time to get a fully overheated Wildfire off on her before she Confuses everyone- and at that point your gauss barrel has just falllen off and is working on it's CD to put back on with BS.

The Flamethrower comment I made is a reference to Trash- not boss adds. It's completely fine to use it in dungeons with snapshotting the last second of an overheat for higher AOE damage.
