Issues with MCH since Stormblood Rework & Ideas on how to fix them

If the Rapid Fire one would be doable then it would be good. I imagine they'd have to increase the responsiveness of the 3 shots, though they already feel like they have pretty quick casts. But the idea of Flamethrower maintaining the OH timer at maximum is nice. It's a shame they won't make any major reworks till 5.0

I think something like the FT change is actually doable in a normal patch. WAR did essentially get a Berserk/IR rework in 4.2. Obviously not anything in 4.3, but there is hope for some decent changes to smooth out some clunkiness in the future.

I really wish 10 heat shots would come back though. It would take some time getting used to it again, but it would be for the better in the long run. I just want some difficulty with the job again.

I see a lot of people say that, but all that would really change is that instead of using 0-1 Cooldowns between WFs, you would use 1-2 of them. It might make Flamethrower usage slightly more flexible in some situations but overall the heat change wouldn't really affect anything. I'd put it together as a cosmetic change similar to how some people would like to get a DoT back. Changes like that generally don't change anything gameplay wise except for replacing a heated shot here or there. By the nature of Wildfire/Overheat window MCH is stuck in its rigid rotation because the window is just too powerful not to optimize everything around it.

Yeah exactly, it's not from a viability or a clunkiness standpoint (it would be increase DPS, but MCH doesn't need DPS buffs). I'd prefer the 10 heat because right now, I find that I just don't need to pay attention to anything. I'd like the change so I actually manage the heat gauge. Adds a sort of placebo management to make the job more engaging, at least for me.
