Hit the nail on the head for both MCH and BRD. I mained and master MCH for years did all the dum Relic crap and raids just to see it totally lobotomized in 5.0. BRD changes were for the worse too now that TP and MP are gone but the playstyle is mostly intact unlike the former but now with DNC being all new and safe and MCH corse rotting, people are nagging for BRD to be some gross hybrid of the two, mechanically toothless as MCH or a shameful Lackluster copy of DNC. Diversity is important we don’t need what the healers and tanks have, that being a total singularity. Homogenized kits.

I’ll say this, MCH is one of the dumbest jobs in the game that even it doesn’t know what it’s strong point is. Not a pet job due to all turret actions changing for the worse and lacking a aoe, if you care about numbers it ain’t no selfish dps compared to MNK SMN and BLM. It’s hardly a support with even some stronger jobs outclassing it like the aforementioned SMN and MNK with devotion and brotherhood being more vital than Troubadour Samba, it has as of 5.5 the fewest skills in the game and oddly enough quite fat in its design with bloat like Gauss barrel and Ricochet being separate, Drill and Air being mostly identical and can easily draft the battery benefit to drill, Bio and flamethrower being filler Aoe, Wildfire fell from grace and no longer is central to MCH power and as a result is a lateral skill, Heat blast is useless too you can just have it gain a speed boost with its 1-2-3 instead of spamming a skill for 6 seconds. Never has a job existed like this with such a hollow playstyle yet somehow has bloat
