What is wrong about making machinist good?

[Reginald_Cain]

That is the wrong way to look at it. You're acting like there is some god given reason BRD/DNC need the performance they have now, and that MCH is only that weak because it happens to be in the same role as BRD/DNC.

How about this...
I am tired of MCH holding DNC/BRD hostage. DNC/BRD have a huge indirect difficulty over MCH by depending on their team for their rDPS. The only way you can be a top BRD/DNC is if your whole team is on point, but they can't be rewarded for that because of MCH holding them back. I propose BRD/DNC rDPS get buffed up to a top performing dps job. And they can make a 4th rphys job, at MCH levels, to codify a 2 tier system inside the rphys role.

See where that would leave MCH? You are asking for that, just for BRD/DNC. Having different performance tiers inside the whole of the dps role is a bad idea. It only causes problems, and fixes nothing.

The way i see it ,machinist is not a support and should not be balanced around tolwo support jobs. It has no utility and btw it uses a giant drill cannon. I'm asking jobs be balanced around how many raid buffs and utility skills they have. Viper and samurai are top dps while being easy to play because they provide no utility. Machinist and any selfish dps should be in their own category while jobs like dancer and bard should provide high rdps thru buffs. I'm asking for phys ranged as a whole to get buffed as a whole. Bard and dancers buffs should provide the group with so much damage it equalizes to selfish dps like machinist or viper instead of the current system where ALL 3 ARE ABYSMALLY WEAK. All dps should be near equal and they aren't. Selfish dps should have comparable adps to eachother while supportive ones have similar rdps to eachother. The rdps of support jobs should be equal to the adps of selfish ones. It's not at all asking for bard and dancer to suck. They fundamentally dont belong in the same subrole as machinist. They should be strong without bullying eachother out of the one slot that they shouldn't even have to share.
