5.0 Machinist Launch Feedback

[Drayos]

Why are people saying use torrent when ever? Using at 50 gives you more pile drivers/overdrives. Which is more dps since the durations increase. At the same rate as battery gained. Am I missing something?

The potency of pile drive increases if ur battery level is higher when he explodes.

And use golem at 100 and instantly blow it up for maximum potency

That's not how it works. The duration of Automaton Queen and the potency of the skills she uses are linearly increased the more battery level you have. Exploding it early doesn't increase the damage. You can test this easily.
Even the tooltip of Pile Bunker specifies: 'Potency increases as Battery Gauge exceeds required cost at time of deployment". It has nothing to do with how much duration or whatever is left.

I played stormblood as a high ping mch the entire expansion and could still optimize and parse well.

Shadowbringers is FAR more punishing to high ping players than Stormblood ever was.

1.5s recast times have been a complaint about machinist for as long as they have been a thing and a pretty universal ones at that, they really have to go if they dont want to force people off the job.

To any low ping players saying that they would leave the job if they slowed it down: Id rather you had a CHOICE to leave the job due to not liking it than others being FORCED off the job due to their latency. Its not fair to people who live on the other side of america to design a job like this in a game with instances which are so inconsistent. Not to mention they put their servers on the very west edge of america which just destroys anyone on east coast.

Very unfun to just be told "its our class now go find something else to play" after 4 years.

With this view, should we not just eliminate MCH? Give bard the visual ability to equip a gun. Because they will be exactly the same if you remove APM. I guess with the removal of that is just glamour since they will play exactly the same. That's boring.

In no way would the removal of 1.5s recast times make MCH the same as BRD, we dont have any procs in our rotation anymore and we also dont have any DoT abilities, were you even thinking before you said this?
In your mind what are the difference that make MCH and BRD different? If the answer is only 1.5s recast times then you have a very surface layer view of the class in my opinion.
