Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

He is saying thats all they are going to fix for now, and then going to see what players say about it during Alexander.

there is currently no reason to bring a mch to in a raid anymore over a brd and or another dps.
like they just made our dps worst and you think people are gonna allow mch in their groups knowing that?

If they do not buff them along with the BRDs yes I can see this statement being true.

[Ephier]

They have to.

Machinist holds the same raid slot as a Bard.

If one is /vastly/ superior to the other, the other just simply is not viable. AT ALL.

So in order to balance MCH/BRD, they need to do comparable damage (one CAN be better than the other slightly, ofc), with comparable raid utility. They currently have both - with the problem being that their abilities post 50 are kind of just.. not good enough to warrant taking away their assets. (believe it or not, safe, mobile damage IS utility in a raid setting.)

tl;dr buffing brd = mch buffs

-Looks at SMN's after thunder nerf- Took them a looooooooooooong time to deal with that.

Sure, but summoners were actually DESTROYING every other DPS in the game by a significant margin, lol. that change put them in line with everyone else ( relatively ofc)

True. All we can do is pray. If it remains broken going to hope on the BRD bandwagon til they fix it I guess. Share the same gear anyway. '-'

same as bard, you can swap it on at pre-fight and during a phase skip for some burst, of course having to apply hot/lead shots without the auto attack causes more dps to be lost so...yea
