Yeah you all bring up a lot of good points, its more of a mixed bag than i make it out to be, i suppose they took out so much at one time it really soured my impression of the job making me instantly think in glass half empty terms.

And yeah im also not a big fan of spam one button rotations that Shadowbringers introduced, main reason why new hypercharge annoyed me a fair bit. Same with the dark knight delirium spam. THOUGH its still better than the abomination that was dark arts. Overall yeah i agree with most points ya all brought up. I guess if they build upon it way more in the future machinist might come back to being really fun right now it just feels like they gouged out a bit too many abilities and gave back very little.

Thanks for the answers, makes me realize im not the only one here wearing a tinfoil hat yelling that new machinist is not flawless lol
