All your opinions are wrong

You know you can just say the current state of MCH (and to a degree the entirety of phys ranged) sucks without antagonizing everyone else. Besides it's not like numbers matter all that much when MCH plays like it's been half heartedly reworked 6 years ago and then left in the closet to rot.

People need to be told that defending the weak state of machinist is wrong. I was being extra aggressive with my words to express my pent up frustration to the moronic arguments against buffing machinist. This dev team has no idea what's wrong with machinist and have literally just nerfed its aoe. If people's feeling somehow got hurt by this post then I'm sorry but its a nerd rant on an online game forum.

Nah I get you. I think the current state of MCH and phys ranged as a whole is... certainly something. There are a lot of underlying issues that have been well summarized by another post here (like auto crossbow being a gain on 5+ targets, not resetting DC/CM, flamethrower being the way it is, Queen and wildfire not cleaving and others)
If anyone defends the current state of MCH, I doubt they even touched it in the last 3 expansions... but hey... neither did SE apparently.
