PROPOSE Machinist Buffs/Changes HERE

[Jandor]

Well, I'll throw in my 2c.

Reload: On the global cooldown, 3s cast.
Hot Shot: 10% with ammo.
Wildfire: Ignore defense when applying damage.
Hypercharge: 10% debuff.
In fact just make all 5% stuff 10%... well, maybe. Don't want to go overboard.
Ricochet: Additional effect: copies machinist debuffs from the target to all nearby enemies.

No maths done, might be to good, might be terrible.

Edit: tried to stick to changing existing actions because something new is almost certainly not going to happen, but I'd like the bind move to be dropped and replaced with a heal. We're the only job without one.

Hope they fix this faster Alex comming soon

I don't fully understand why you would want to break Promotion into 2 different abilities that upon reading, do the exact same thing as the current Promotion.

Because that way he could use his AoE turret and then activate the TP regeneration when he needs
Actually I don't think that it is a big deal, you can change your turret easily

Idk I love the idea of Recall & Salve.

Recall is self-only & it wouldn't kill us to have a situational support heal.

If not Salve, a new Trait to increase potion's efficiency passively would be cool.

I agree with virtually everything else... folding bind into Blank & reducing its range would make it less obnoxious.

Upping Suppressive's range to match so it doesn't shove them outside of its range is awesome.

And splitting up MP/TP regen is necessary as it is highly counter-intuitive to disallow combining TP gain & AOE damage from turret.

Also, either Quick Reload to 15s/Reload to 45s (more engaging gameplay, less random proccing, lines up with Wildfire) or 1 ammo passively for each failed proc. I like both.

Remember people - shorter reload(s) cd/more ammo = ^dps. Mixed with lining up Reload+WF also = ^dps.

I'd much rather those sorts of changes (& +dps as a result) than simple potency increases...

I'd like to see Ammunition be more of a factor myself.

Make it function to where you can reload whenever you want but it takes a channeling time to reload, that way the RNG of the procs isn't such a decisive factor in every fight and we'll have a true and reliable rotation. We could keep quick reload the way it is for that 1 last shot in the burst to save you from a mistake. The balance can come in the channel time of the reload and we can still have a burst from rapid fire making it trigger instantly. It could function in a similar way to how BLMs deal their damage with the waxing of Fire and the waning of Ice but our "ice" would be the flat period of reloading.

Let us load rounds between fights and not have them "fall out" of the gun after x amount of seconds would be nice as well.

Yep! It's not like our 1-2-3 is some super high potency skill set, I doubt it would suddenly push us into OP territory.

Just reduce the CD of reload to 30 seconds and Q reload to 15 seconds. This changes the class from being purely RNG based into one that's focused on managing ammo, as there is 6 ammo available to spend for every 12 gcds. By reducing the cooldown, the skill cap of the class in increased as well (I think they don't care about that at this point considering how MCHs play), and allows reload and q reload to naturally align with all their other cooldowns.

As with all ability suggestion threads, i sadly doubt that any of these suggestions will be implemented. (

I'm hoping that they will at least increase the potencies of Enhanced Slug and Cleaner Shot because they feel like ass right now for all the pain you have to go through to get them.
