I'm honestly having a hard time telling if the bad taste in my mouth from the changes are from the actual changes- or that we're forced to unlearn all of our ingrained heat management tendencies for a minimal damage buff overall.

It just feels like it's an attempt to get new people to play MCH with the "easier" heat management, when in reality it seems like the people who play MCH have always been playing MCH because they enjoy the archetype over Bows. So it's essentially uprooting what little playerbase MCH has, forcing them to relearn a lot of ingrained stuff and there's no payoff for SE or us because I doubt too many new players will look at these changes and go "Oh wow, I better hop on this bandwagon quick!" while the MCH players get a teensy DPS increase.
