I should clarify it's really easy to get buffs from a simple reaving fangs > Swiftskin's sting > vicewinder > hunter's coil combo every time in downtime, the issue is that I will literally struggle without a pictomancer in my party in terms of damage, a ninja or samurai or even an astro would have to also be in the party to compensate for my damage, and I am playing "optimally" as described on the balance, trying to keep uptime for everything and I still still still struggle in DPS within P1 and P2, I wouldn't even know how much damage I can do on P3 enrage for FRU because quite literally, I am being locked out because people simply do not trust that class to get to that point. So the fact that I have to play something like Picto or Samurai just to continue prog really irks me. We need like a potency buff and same with machinist, it's genuinely kind of upsetting that we're in dawntrail and we're still getting issues where classes are being locked out of high end prog due to simply "not possessing enough damage" within like 2 phases.
