SkillSpeed on the Machinist Raid Weapon is a big joke.

Could be worse, you could be Monks and have Determination as the main stat for two tiers in a row.

At least Determination does something. The only thing Skill Speed does for MCH is basically buff up AAs. I don't see how that is worse.

My apologies, I wasn't entirely clear. It wasn't just that Monk had Determination as the main stat twice in a row, but that Monk has had zero crit two tiers in a row and Determination as the main stat. Because Crit is Monk's mechanical stat, we need it for Deep Meditation procs for our throughput and neither weapon has any of it. It happening twice now.

The fact of the matter is, the devs seem to just use RNG to pick substats on raid-weapons. Sometimes you get burned because of it, Black Mage sometimes doesn't get skill speed, Healers sometimes get piety. You should be glad that you only got one bad stat as the secondary for one tier instead of it happening with both stats for two tiers.
