SE has been too hesitant to make meaningful DPS checks since Abyssos. I doubt PF will need to lock any job out, and MCH is now closer to DNC and BRD than it was in the first tier (which was a joke). It's still Savage PF and people need to look for good players rather than good jobs.

With that said, MCH is still in a bad spot and desperately needs a raid buff before 8.0. SE continues to overlook the fact that only DNC and BRD benefit from buffs to other jobs. On top of that, it seems SE is going for a 15% ranged tax, which makes a pure aDPS physical ranged job simply not feasible.
