This is something i will definitely not believe. At best only machinist gets a rework, and whm gets some more/improved ogcd options. Sch is highly popular and reliable in savage, indicating it doesnt need any rework. Only a QoL feature on the fairy (auto-summon) is welcome to streamline it. The rest just works. Whm is outclassed by ast, because ast can do more. Healing is mostly meaningless, and since most abilities do already rely on that, whm needs something to break this curse. It might be as simple that the heal charges now can also be used as ogcd damage casts (just like sch has), this would be a huge boost already and not even change a lot.

Machinist is currently a mess because it needs a raid buff in order to compete:
Its competing with 2 very strong buffers, and not having any means either a superior damage dealing capability which would then break black mage in balance (as you then would suddenly be dealing like 50% more damage than a blm), or methods to aid others: so a raidbuff. Once it has one, then things can change a lot. Because while 10% might not sound like a lot, spreaded acros teammates, thats still 70% on its own, and when combined can easily add double your own damage. THat is the curse mch needs to get rid of. Thats all it needs, the burst rotation while awkward still works fine enough, and the kit as it is works, its a popular enough job in lower difficulty content which indicates its main design is just fun and good.
