<Dev> FIX MCH's ROBOT!!!!!!

[Sigiria]

To be fair I doubt that's an oversight, they probably made the timer as long as it is with the dramatic entrance in mind. Same for the DRK. The only thing that would change if they had to address this would be that instead of having a countdown of 20 seconds when the robot appears, the countdown would instead start when the robot start moving but would last only 15 seconds.

Not to mention that using that delay and the timer to your full advantage actually makes the burst window easier to manage, not harder. The less you have to cram in the even tighter Wildfire the better.

let see how it goes first. this is job trailer, so maybe they cut the robot timer short. and we still dont know how frequent we can call our robot anyway.

or you never know maybe the robot has 500++ potency for each punch with the last bunker buster attack for 800++ potency ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah it is kind of odd it ticks down and you only have like 10secs with the bot.
It may have just been a delay on video but hopefully is not the actual case and we shall see.

Every sec the robot isn't causing damage is a dps loss. Even Demi Bahamut will cast Wyrmwave while doing his Summon animation.

But what if they've already calculated that into how much damage it does overall?

[Elnidfse]

They likely have. It’d pretty much a 15 second cooldown otherwise. I like the flavor of the summoning

You would sacrifice your swagger for substance?

It's like they don't even play Machinist at all.

[Reimmi]

Rather have the flashiness and longer duration than shorter duration but he just kinda, appears
You underestimate how important presentation is, wow is horrible at this with most classes having boring animations, ff14 does this very, very well.

[Selova]

There is also the possibility that they intentionally didn't have it engage once it was summoned so they could show it's model off more. I highly doubt we should be asking for fixes when none of these changes are even live yet.
