Flamethrower feels like a Skill that should've been scrapped alongside the old heat system, or have a "first three attacks deal low damage but then it charges and deals alot of aoe damage" to justify it being a 60 second CD. But I am not here to talk about it, but rather automaton queen

AQ has a problem for me, which is that it is just a glorified DoT. I was thinking, couldn't it be like Reaper's Enshroud? Where you turn half-robot or get a big gadget and change your attacks for a few seconds? Like Scouter from Lost Ark.
Mostly because it would make the job feels more "I am doing stuff" than just let my robot do the big damage. Plus I'm all for MCH having a more complex rotation and have a higher DPS than the other two R.Physical because of that. The AQ is cool and all, but I often try to time to use to make finisher be inside buffs and forget about it.
