To FFXIV Team From a Concerned Machinist

Return limit break rules to 2m/1c/1r, or MCH is never going to compete with BRD and always going to compete with the casters.

That's the problem with BRD vs MCH: their inherent support and mobility gives them huge advantages over casters no matter what, so they're rarely going to fight each other and more often than not going to just boot casters out.

Not necessarily. MCH doesn't compete with BRD now because it offers nothing BRD either doesn't do better or easier. Even if MCH were buffed into the moon or BRD nerfed hard, a significant factor in MCH's lack of play comes from how unfriendly the job feels overall. It's similar to the complaints WARs had at the beginning of Stormblood. They had to work twice as hard to achieve the same results as DRK and PLD.

Regardless, forcing a Caster into the comp is simply lazy design and does nothing for MCH.
