My long-standing gripes with MCH and physical ranged in general

[Darkpaw]

I become curious as to how long you have played mch, while i agree it’s current iteration needs work. (To which im 90% sure Yoshi P specifically mentioned more drastic mch changes coming in 6.2) potency buffs will not fix MCH.

Wildfire no matter how you cut it is an uninteresting mechanic that cant crit or dhit. Queen is a overly glorified dot, ping you rightly point out is an issue with overheat.

You say the rotation and kit feel smooth, i disagree. With 2 stacks of reassembled and both drill and chainsaw it doesn’t to me feel smooth. It feels overly cramped to artificially boost apm.

I’m sure at times it can be difficult to find a static who would prefer other jobs in the ranged role, but you have to keep looking.

Mch is not in the best of spots but i doubt it is anywhere near as bad as it was in stormblood where people literally actively avoided mch’s like the plague.

Been on MCH since Eden's Verse when I swapped to it for the first time to blind prog Shiva with a group. Atm I recently held rank 1 spot for P4Sp1 for a bit but only lasted a day before I got beaten out.

I don't so much see the issue on reassemble being 2 stacks mostly because I feel like it's just that way so we can let the CD drift without overcapping/losing a use through a fight if we hold it for the drill/drill clones.

It's mostly difficult finding a Ultimate static, savage groups not as hard to get into. Also iirc SB MCH was nuts

I don't particularly do the balance's suggested rotation because I don't find it comfy, I end up doing my own thing (which you can easily find in the usual place if you know where to look, I don't mind people peeking at it) sure it's not the "optimal" rotation but it was good enough to get a 100 during a relatively lazy weekly reclear with my current static where 2 players are first time savage raiders, so that's good in my book LOL

But yeah I mainly think if MCH just got more damage it'd be fine as it is.
