SE's treatment of MCH is a joke

[Hanzz96]

Mch is kinda lame, all the skills look like mage spells :\

No they don't? They're all techno

Where are the badass gun sounds, gun themed skills, everything is flashy like mage spells, Bard got the same issue.

Honestly, I wish that they would just rework the job from ground up and make the job without any remnants.

Careful what you wish for. That's exactly what they did with ShB MCH (current MCH), and see where it got us.

Wildfire needs to go. It's not really an interesting mechanic and it doesn't feel satisfying to use.

Are you serious? Wildfire is the core identity of the job and that's the only remnant that has never gone for good. Maybe it's not as satisfying to pull as it used to be, but it still is better than nothing. In an ideal world with the hypercharge stacks we have now, I'd kill to get back the old damage based wildfire though.

MCH has two abilities that can't crit, Flamethrower and Wildfire, which is weird considering that they've been making skills that have auto crit/dhit.

I'm not saying that it should have auto crit, just to be able to crit.

People have such a weird obsession with WF and FT critting where in reality it doesn't even affect its gameplay... But sure, I do agree, I'd like both to be able to crit.

If split shot or blazing shot, or even full metal field aren't "gun sounds" enough, I don't know what to tell you... But I do agree that animations like slug shot are a little gun-magey.

As for bard, I actually do love the flashy pitch perfect and refulgent arrow and I do genuinely think they have some of the best sounds in the game. Oh and the good old empyreal arrow "pewpew".

I could not agree with you more. Wildfire is the heart and soul of MCH. It needs to become an auto crit direct so that MCH doesn't grief crit buffs but to get rid of it would destroy any job identity we have left.

Damage based Wildfire would be great to have back but jrs not going to happen sadly. I just wish they didn't add the hard cap of 6 GCD's because some clever MCH's managed to find some fun opti with chainsaw and hypercharge to get 7.
