MCH completely useless

[Azostar]

We don't need new skills or a complete overhaul, just tweak the numbers (Lower a few cooldowns, give more potency/strength to certain skills).

I was under the impression that Gauss Barrel was intended to be situational, to be used neither permanently or never at all. Under this pretense, giving skills more potency or lower cooldowns could tip Gauss Barrel into being too strong and always having it on as a neccesity (it is a multiplier after all, not a static increase).

It would make sense from a balance point of view that we have quite low potency skills, simillar to bard. Right now, stat weights aren't known, MCH and BRD weapons have far lower weapon damage than other classes, and with the change to DET it means later game Auto Attacks will be far less weighted in your DPS.

In terms of how the class plays and is intended to feel, it's absolutely fine. The problems are that their debuffs aren't too great (on the surface), and the DPS they dish out doesn't seem be on par (on dummies). Maybe we will see a buff in the future, maybe we haven't gotten far enough into the expansion to realise how much they can actually bring.

Right now though there is a more concerning issue.

The damn hip pack model doesn't change with gear and always stays the same.
