MCH and Patch 4.05 or The Problem with not leaving well enough alone

[Jilliebeans]

At this point (and yes this is going to be a bitter reply) I am convinced that SE wants MCH to be the lowest DPS. Someone has to be, so MCH is it, here is your cone hat. Heck it seems that if anything has a "pet mechanic" is has to be "the lowest" regardless of how those pets play: SCH, SMN, MCH!If tanks ever get a pet tank, guaranteed it will be the lowest performer. *grumble* If we had a job unique party buff I would take this damage issue with a grain of salt, because I could say then "yeah we are at the bottom of the damage pole, but look at this shiny we bring to the party!" I wont hold my breath anymore. I will just accept the fact that I will be shunned for anything other than basic content, at least ill look damn good at the bottom of the barrel.

If SE wants a class to have the lowest dps it should be Brd instead because brd buffs makes up for it's dps, while mch utilities does not make up for it's own dps.

I totally agree here.

So lets see here, if SE want to keep us at the bottom of the dps charts... We should get:
A turret that gives regen in an AoE, cant tell me we cant have it because RDM can heal.
Or a Tactical Computer link up that gives everyone a critical buff, Brd has something like that.
Or maybe a Turret that gives a flat 2% damage increase to those huddled around it. AST would have a buddy now.
Or we could have a drone that can follow us around for a few seconds that gives party stealth, that has some neat implications for teaming with NINs.

If SE doesn't want anyone taking us for damage, then for the love of all that is Final Fantasy, give us some party synergies!
