It is?

Flamethrower is too weak. Its just a flaming Barrel Stabelizer.


In my opinion, MCH is much harder to play and is a lot more punishing. Less utility, less damage. You have to care on even more things simultaneously.
- Hot Shot is still up?
- Heat Gauge is ok?
- Turret is placed well?
- Wildfire is up?
- Ammunition ready?
- Boss mechanics?
- Anyone need MP/TP/Palisade?
- Overheated! Damn... dont forget to put GB on!
- Still enough TP for AoEs?
- I messed up with Hot Shot... again : (

And I m absolutely agree: Overdrive is a joke. One weak hit, then no turret for the next 30s. Since Stormblood, I overheated way to often by accident or forgot to keep Hot Shot up. And the new burst rotation needs a lot more preparation than before. MCH is no fun anymore!

Here is my suggestion: Give me my Heavensward-MCH back!
