My Eulogy for Machinist

[Payotz]

Granted, they flat out said that job design and gameplay will be easier than Shadowbringers. Sure, okay, fuck it, we can't blame you for following the money.
BUT GOD DAMN, literally adding UTILITY, and restoring the old Physical Ranged identity is HARD FOR THESE PEOPLE.
SCH's Combat Peloton, RDM's magic raid buff, hell even just a nerfed version of Refresh or old Palisade, or even bringing back old class specific utility like Dismantle would be a GOOD FIRST STEP to fixing Physical Ranged.

WHY ARE THESE DEVS SO ADAMANT IN KEEPING PHYSICAL RANGED AS BABY'S FIRST DPS? What about the actual Physical Ranged players BEFORE the reworks Devs? What about us?
Why is an UNCONTROLLABLE 1% PARTY BUFF, the ONLY reason why people bring Ranged Physicals? Why can't it be just that AND actual utility? Why are we still stuck with the same goddamn 180 second cd Reprisal clone?
Why can't we use CC on E8S adds? Why does a fucking Ninja and a Dragoon have more raid buffs than a PHYSICAL RANGED JOB, the Role that had the identity of UTILITY DPS?

There's a LOT of valid criticism over the past TWO YEARS over the "Physical Ranged rework", and ALMOST NOTHING has EVEN BEEN CONSIDERED into the job design.
WE ARE PAYING TO PLAY YOUR GAME TOO. CONSIDER OUR FEEDBACK AS WELL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Christ if you guys are so adamant on destroying what fun we've had with a role, you might as well turn Physical ranged's rotation into Healers. Just give it one GCD, one DoT and one Multitarget GCD.
That will 110% boost your Physical Ranged player numbers. Do it and roll in the money.

Fuck this game.
