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

[Eir_Z]

I really like the idea of Barrel Stabilizer ending an overheat without “losing a barrel” so to speak. However, this is a fairly significant dps buff, so either the Wildfire or Hot Shot buff would have to be reduced.

But, to make the job less ping dependent, Wildfire and Overheat need to change. WF would make sense to be a weaponskill/GCD counter. Pack all your oGCDs in and the final weaponskill or GCD also acts as a trigger for the explosion. Overheat is trickier... maybe just extend it to 12s? Just long enough to allow higher pings and skill stuttering, but not long enough to guarantee a 6th GCD. While we’re on it, someone mentioned slowing down Rapid Fire. That would also probably help out higher pings and general feel of the skill. Not necessarily 2s, but somewhere between 1.5 and 2.

I’m all for increasing heat generation of shots back to 10, though I’d like to take a queue from PVP and up Hot Shot to 25.

That would help out a ton as is to be honest. I can see Hot Shot being used purely as a heat generation skill just to deal with skill speed issue MCH has if it did that instead of the potency buff.

Really though either removing Overheat or Wildfire altogether would probably be the better option long term. As much as I like Wildfire, I can see how removing it and focusing on Overheat would also help out MCH.
