Phys.Ranged still not getting buffed.

[Collin_Sky]

future fights will be difficult for melee to keep uptime or to do positionals

This has never, ever been the case. Ever. Even in ultimate content.

The thing that baffles me is that in a single target setting (ex trials and raids) both bard and dancer have received buffs, but machinist hasn't? Do they actively WANT this job to die?

Oh really? P8s would like to have a word with you then.

Also just because this was never the case doesn't mean, in the future this will not be the case. Obviously the change was done for future fights and not present/ past ones.

There are no singletarget buffs for brd and dnc,

Shadowbite, Ladonsbite, Windmill, Bladeshower ect are all aoe.

All 3 Ranged got adjustments to their aoe skills. thats it.

SE's excuse to buff melees caters mostly to Johnny Twofinger who cant press buttons.

which pretty much summarizes perfectly the average Joe playing FF14. anything else?

You're comparing to an old savage fight, while trying to justify random changes with little to no explanations from dev team. While I do not want to judge your experience, I'm aware you're a endgame raider - "in the future" were never correct to this date.
It already proves, even the JP playerbase is discussing this in the very moment and honestly, it made me chuckle so much.

Reading the comment - "Did the management's parents get killed by the Machinist?" - just amazed me.

Please correct me if I'm wrong because I don't follow DPS rankings, but last time I did hear something in passing it was that MCH was lowest on the totem pole or in the bottom three, I think.

Why on Earth are they only doing nerfs to MCH this patch? Shouldn't it have gotten some kind of buff or something?
