Shots Fired: A Machinist Guide

[FantasyForever]

Only A/S ranks and strong fate mobs are unkillable as solo MCH, you shouldn't ever die outside of boss fights in dungeons and in raids/trials you just need to git gud, stop getting hit by avoidable damage. Second wind wouldn't save you in most cases anyway.

Hope that isn't directed towards me. That said, abilities like Second Wind, Perfect Dodge(RIP), & mana-wall/ward are incredibly useful in content that matters. . which is not hunts and soloing mobs in the open world like you used as an example. Also, you realize not all dmg is avoidable right? T13 Earthshakers aren't avoidable for example. On Ninja I could pop Keen Flurry to help reduce the dmg I took (thankfully MCH does have access to this, tho at the loss of either quelling), use Second Wind and I could Perfect Dodge one of the hits entirely.

When I'm thinking about defensive capabilities I am purely thinking from a raid progression viewpoint.
