Machinist needs help.

MP restoration, damage reduction (assuming they actually make them unique to the role instead of giving everyone and their mom a damage reduction skill), increased healing, in combat speed boosts, single target buffs that aren't damage related, increased resource gauge generation (Rage, heat, kenki, etc)

The way to go would just be to give physical ranged jobs quality of life buffs like granting increased movement speed/mana regen/more damage mitigation options, but I kind of doubt they'll do anything meaningful with the role

Your describing things the devs have gone thru good lengths to actively remove from this specific job, also none of these sound like QOL buff just more support skills which Again the devs have gone and severed all of MCH support.

Yup, which is why the job is in such a horrid state, there's no uniqueness to the job except that it has a phase where your GCD is 1.5s

People want to have impact, and mindlessly pumping damage into a health bar that barely moves and mitigating 10% damage every 2 minutes doesn't count as impact
