Please don't change Machinist core gameplay

So people are perfect and never make mistakes?

Well then, for actual air-breathing humans, one of the bigger differences currently is that IF you make a mistake as a MCH, your already low DPS completely bottoms out, and recovering from that only sets you further back. This includes elements of your kit that will work against each other in the process of doing so.

Let's paint an even better picture: Your party is trying to push DPS to eke out that last bit of percent to clear a fight. Barrel Stabilizer is on cooldown, Wildfire not available. Do you Overheat and try to push? Do you hold back and not take advantage of the damage increase? What happens IF it's not dead before that Overheat wears off? Sorry, no balance cards, you've got a WHM and SCH. No DRG for piercing. What do you do?

But hey, all players are perfect and never make mistakes. That's why they didn't have to change jobs to make them "simpler" this time around.
