MCH changes are unfortunate

Not sure about dps increase or numbers as I am on console and can't parse, but the heat reduction feels better to me. It is much harder to accidentally overheat now, and staying in the 50>95 sweet spot is easier. 60 sec BS is also great. Making sure it is always available when you need it.

Right there with you. I wish we did more damage, but it's not going to keep me from getting content done. I didn't enjoy micro-managing my heat. To me, the changes to heat generation/overheating are very welcome.
I think this is the best MCH has ever played.

My only wishes at this point is for a little more damage. At least at or above BRD.

Honestly with as little utility as we provide, I would expect DPS approaching BLM and SMN. I think I would prefer that anyway. MCH just doesn't seem like a "support" class like BRD, in neither design nor lore. It should really just be DPS focused. If any class design is begging for the support treatment, it's RDM.

Approaching sure, but not exactly their numbers. Being able to shoot on the move is a huge advantage, so SMN and BLM should always be ahead because of the cast times involved. BLM is my main, and playing MCH with the heat gauge is definitely a lot easier then min/maxing my BLM.
