MCH AoE level 89 and below

[Greedalox]

You might not think that trivial content like roulettes is worth being annoyed over, and that is your prerogative, but that is the premise of this entire thread. It's undeniable that our AoE capabilities have taken a hit in most roulette content (the vast majority of which is below level 70); spread shot got nerfed from 100 to 80 potency, and bishop got given the flare treatment with damage falloff.

I never said we didn't take a pre 70 hit. I said it's not a big deal and that rotationally we didn't have to do much different now. I don't do as much damage as I used to in 60 dungeons- what I am saying is that it wasn't hit hard enough for me to consider never doing my lower level roulettes- or rather not any less consideration than when the cap was 60 anyways.

On your last point, no there really isn't - especially not now that bane got hit with a nerf as well. There's something to be said about a single job being good in multiple things being a small bonus as well. Less hassle managing different gearsets, not having to put up with playstyles you don't particularly enjoy, and so on. Hey, maybe the only glamour set I like is a ranged one!

It would be one thing if machinist had something else going for it right now - endgame raiding performance, PvP viability, anything really - but sadly none of them are the case. I'll be happy to re-evaluate that judgment once new information comes in, but rest assured until then I'm sticking to my bard for raiding and the rest of the game as well, it would be irresponsible for me to bring a machinist.

I'm going to preface this with, "I don't personally know cause I don't PvP", but from my understanding, MCH is incredible at PvP right now. Every single person in my FC that PvPs, any PvP shout convo that happens, a few actual relatives of mine, even certain people on this forum, they ALL say MCH is pretty great/OP. So maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but I can't imagine I would see it so much if it wasn't.

More on topic though, I fully planned on never using roulette as MCH again when I get something else to 70. Low level MCH just isn't really fun.

Was an easy enough decision making process for me. When you roulette with friends and the tank is keen to do super pulls. You start to outright feel it in your soul. Given the solo nature of the new incentives. I feel it that much more when I have to marry myself into a dungeon for 30 minutes. It's terrible!
