    There is a pretty massive gap between 'having to use active abilities to mitigate poor mobility' and 'can literally do their entire rotation jumping if they so desire.' i.e the difference in BLM 'mobility' and MCH mobility.

    I'll reiterate what I said before:

    The MCH buffs were insufficient; but they shouldn't be in the same weight class as SAM and BLM when they have so few considerations for optimised play in comparison. Look at a bottom percentile BLM vs a top percentile BLM. Now do the same for MCH. There is less skill expression available to Machinists, and if Square were to change that so Machinist actually had a skill ceiling equal to that of BLM, I'd be all up for them punching in the same weight class, but as it stands it's just not the case. At the moment, a bad Black Mage is a far worse hinderance than a bad Machinist, but Black Mage scales with player skill a lot more than Machinist does.
